Manchester United face Wrexham in their opening preseason friendly of the summer on Saturday at Helsinki Olympic Stadium in Finland.
The match marks the official start of the summer schedule for head coach Michael Carrick's Manchester United side.
Meanwhile, Phil Parkinson's Wrexham enter the game after playing out a 0-0 draw against Wisła Kraków in their first preseason friendly having narrowly missed out on the Championship promotion playoffs last season.
The two teams last met during Manchester United's 2023 preseason tour of the United States, where the United side suffered a 3-1 defeat.
For United, New $68 million midfielder Andrey Santos traveled with the 25-man squad and is expected to make his debut but fellow new signing Youri Tielemans is absent after being granted additional time off following the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Karl Darlow and striker Benjamin Šeško remain in Manchester as they continue their recovery from fitness issues.
Senior players including Harry Maguire, Mason Mount, Leny Yoro, and Luke Shaw are part of the traveling squad alongside several academy prospects.
Why Is Bruno Fernandes Not Playing Against Wrexham?
Bruno Fernandes is not playing against Wrexham because he has been granted extended time off to rest and recover following his involvement with Portugal at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Portugal and Fernandes reached the Round of 16 before being eliminated by Spain. The Premier League Player of the Season was heavily involved for Portugal throughout the tournament and has been given additional time off before returning for preseason.
