Manchester United vs Real Betis live early team news and how to watch pre-season fixture

Manchester United will be targeting a first victory of their pre-season tour of the United States when they face Real Betis at the Snapdragon Stadium in San Diego, with kick-off 3am BST.

United, who faced the Spanish side in the Europa League knockout stages in March 2023, will be aiming to get back on track after their 2-1 defeat to Arsenal at the weekend. Gabriel Martinelli scored a late winner for the Gunners after stepping off the bench.
