Erik ten Hag is about to face his latest Manchester United test

Seven down, one to go.

Manchester United will wrap up their pre-season campaign against Spanish heavyweights Athletic Bilbao in Dublin this afternoon. It will mark manager Erik ten Hag's last chance to assess his squad and get his demands across ahead of his side's season opener against Wolves in eight days' time.

The Black Country outfit will present United with their first test of the 2023/24 Premier League campaign, visiting Old Trafford next Monday evening. United are unbeaten in M16 in all competitions since last September, meaning that is a record they will want to preserve against Julen Lopetegui's side.

Furthermore, the Reds are unbeaten at Old Trafford in the Premier League since last August, last losing a league game on their own patch on the opening day of last term. Their M16 form was the backbone of their success last term.

United won 15 of their 19 home league games last season, amassing an impressive 48 points at Old Trafford. They also conceded just ten goals on their own patch, a record that could neither be matched or bettered by anyone else in the division.

They went into every home game with the expectation of winning, with Ten Hag turning Old Trafford back into the fortress it once was. Gone were the days of travelling supporters bouncing up and down in the away end at full-time, celebrating a famous victory.

Though clashes between United and Wolves have a tendency to be slow burners and not usually littered with goals, United will be confident about getting off to a winning start. Anything less will be frowned
