Manchester United vs Fiorentina Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Pre-season friendly 2025

The Red Devils are on a four-match unbeaten run.

Manchester United are all set to host Fiorentina in a pre-season club friendly game. The interesting contest between these clubs is scheduled to take place at Old Trafford.

Manchester United have announced a special tribute for former star David De Gea just before the start of the game, as he played an important part for the team from 2011 to 2023, winning various trophies and also clinching the Player of the Year title 4 times.

The Ruben Amorim-led Manchester United are coming in after winning the Premier League Summer Series 2025. Even though it was a pre-season tournament, United did well and did not lose any of their matches. The Red Devils have added some players to the squad and are looking better than before.

Players to Watch

Bryan Mbeumo (Man United)

Bryan Mbeumo is going to be a threat to the opponent’s defence. He made his debut for Man United in their last pre-season game against Everton. Even though he failed to score in the last game, Mbeumo was confident enough to express himself, giving the much needed optimism for fans ahead of new season.

Moise Kean scored a brace in a pre-season game against Carrarese, but has failed to score any goals in the last two games for Fiorentina. However, expect the Italian forward to play an important role in the attacking front and trouble Man United’s defence.
