Arsenal vs Manchester United live early team news and how to watch pre-season friendly fixture

Manchester United will be targeting a second successive pre-season victory when they face Arsenal in their opening game of their tour of the United States at the SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, kick-off 1am BST.

The Reds, who faced Arsenal in their opening game of last year's tour of the US, recorded a 2-0 win over Rangers last time out. Amad and Joe Hugill got themselves on the scoresheet either side of the half-time break.

Now in the US, United will take their pre-season preparations up a notch. Facing Arsenal, Real Betis and Liverpool, each assignment will bring a different test.

Erik ten Hag has taken a 29-man squad with him to the US but is still without several key players, such as Bruno Fernandes and Alejandro Garnacho. It means a splattering of youngsters will be hoping to store more minutes under their belts over the next week.

United are taking notes on these trips. As revered as Old Trafford is, it is incomparable with 21st century stadia at this level and that is one of the reasons why
