Rangers vs Manchester United Preview
Rangers
Philippe Clement’s Rangers continue their preparations ahead of the start of the new SPL season this weekend with a mouth-watering showdown against Manchester United in Edinburgh. The Scottish giants finished second in the SPL last term, but their form following Clement’s arrival in October dared fans to dream that a shock run for the title could be made possible.
The Gers have strengthened their squad already this summer, with eye-catching signings, including Jeft from Fluminense and Clinton Nsiala from AC Milan. This will be their second friendly of the pre-season after playing out a 2-1 defeat against Ajax last Saturday. However, the Gers looked threatening on the counter-attack throughout that match.
Manchester United
Erik ten Hag blasted the performance of his players in United’s first pre-season match of the summer, as they were well below the standards required in a 1-0 defeat against Rosenborg. The Norwegian side were able to dictate possession throughout that friendly, and the Red Devils mustered just two shots on target.
A similar eleven is likely to take to the field this weekend, with stars such as Bruno Fernandes, Alejandro Garnacho, and Kobbie Mainoo given extra time to recover following their international commitments. However, an improved performance is expected, with high-quality players such as Marcus Rashford, Mason Mount, and Casemiro all expected to start in Scotland.
Rangers vs Manchester United Prediction
- Pick: Draw
- Score prediction: Rangers 1-1 Manchester United
An inexperienced United team will be named once again this weekend, as the club look set to welcome back their first team players at the start of next week before travelling to the United States.
We expect to see an improved performance from United in the opening 45 minutes on Saturday, but we could see the Gers earning a draw by netting in the second period when ten Hag tests out some of the younger stars in the squad.
Rangers vs Manchester United Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Marcus Rashford To Score
The 2024-25 season will be a massive one for Marcus Rashford. His sub-par performances last season saw him dropped by Gareth Southgate for the EUROs, and the England international will need to hit the ground running in pre-season to cement his place in the United team.
Saturday could finally be the afternoon when he rediscovered his mojo.
