Manchester United v Atletico Madrid LIVE: Michael Carrick’s side continue pre-season campaign

Manchester United continue their pre-season tour of Scandinavia as they take on fellow European heavyweights Atletico Madrid in Stockholm.

United bounced back from their surprise opening defeat to Wrexham with a rampant 5-0 win over Norwegian outfit Rosenborg, with the youngsters in the squad particularly impressive.

They now face their biggest test of pre-season so far, with Atletico coming into the clash off their 4-1 triumph of their LaLiga rivals Getafe, which saw Ademola Lookman bag a brace.

It kicks off a run of exciting friendlies for Michael Carrick’s side, who will also face Paris Saint-Germain, fierce rivals Leeds and AC Milan – with the likes of £35m summer signing Youri Tielemans and first-choice keeper Senne Lammens expected to return for those clashes – before their Premier League curtain-raiser at Hull City.
