Manchester United vs Real Betis: team news, kick-off time, prediction, TV channel, h2h results

Manchester United face the penultimate friendly of the summer when they meet Real Betis in San Diego on Wednesday night.

Erik ten Hag’s side were beaten by Arsenal to kick off their pre-season tour of the United States at the weekend.

It’s been a bit of a mixed summer for the Red Devils, who lost to Rosenborg in a disappointing opener before winning against Rangers.

Injury problems are cropping up again and this week’s game offers one of the last chances to prepare before the Community Shield against Manchester City.

Betis are fresh from a narrow defeat at Liverpool, who United play on Saturday night, the Spanish side’s third of seven pre-season friendlies.

Man Utd vs Real Betis is scheduled for a 3:00 BST kick-off in the early hours of Thursday 1 August 2024.
