Manchester United conclude their preseason schedule with a friendly against Fiorentina at Old Trafford on Saturday.
Ruben Amorim and his players enjoyed a positive tour of the United States, winning the Premier League Summer Series thanks to victories over West Ham and Bournemouth and a draw with Everton.
Fans at home will now get the chance to see first hand how much the team looks to have improved since their appalling performance in the 2024/25 season, when they set new records for the worst United side in the Premier League era.
Fiorentina have faced English opposition already in preseason, losing to Leicester City 2-0 and drawing 0-0 with Nottingham Forest. La Viola have had a summer of upheaval in terms of squad turnover, so this will be a stern test for Stefano Pioli and his players.

United fans could get a first glimpse of Benjamin Sesko at Old Trafford, although this will likely just be a chance for the striker to be presented to the crowd as a new signing rather than him actually playing in the game.
Fellow new arrivals Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Diego Leon will hope to make their first appearances at the stadium for the home side, while youngsters such as Tyler Fredricson, Chido Obi and Ethan Williams may get more game time.
Lisandro Martinez is still working his way back from knee surgery, but there is a chance that Joshua Zirkzee, Noussair Mazraoui and Andre Onana could be back in action.
Man United predicted lineup (3-4-2-1, right to left): Bayindir (GK) — Yoro, De Ligt, Shaw — Dalot, Ugarte, Mainoo, Dorgu — Mbeumo, Fernandes — Cunha
Injured: Martinez (knee), Onana (hamstring, doubt), Zirkzee (knock, doubt), Mazraoui (muscle, doubt)
Fiorentina have undergone a squad overhaul in this transfer window, with their outgoing players into double figures, while eight new faces have joined the squad. Veteran former Manchester City striker Edin Dzeko is among them.
United fans are likely to give a warm reception to David de Gea, who will be granted a special on-pitch presentation to mark his return to the club where he played 545 games over 12 years.
Fiorentina predicted lineup (3-5-2, right to left): De Gea (GK) — Dodo, Mari, Ranieri — Fortini, Fagioli, Pongracic, Fazzini, Gosens — Kean, Beltran
