New Delhi: Champions League title holders Real Madrid will hope to say good bye to their poor pre-season form ahead of a highly anticipated clash with Europa League champions Manchester United in the UEFA Super Cup at the Philip II Arena in Skopje, Macedonia.
The game will carry huge importance for few key figures in both teams. While Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo will be up against his former club, the Red Deveils manager Jose Mourinho will be eyeing a victory against his former employers.
The two sides recently met at the Levi's Stadium in California in an International Champions Cup friendly encounter, where United came out victorious on penalties after the game was drawn 1-1 in normal time.
United, who have had most of their stars participating in the whole of pre-season campaign, Real will be welcoming Ronaldo back to the game-day squad for the first time since last season's Champions League final win over Juventus.
Predicted Line-ups:
Real Madrid: Navas; Carvajal, Ramos, Varane, Marcelo; Modrić, Casemiro, Kroos; Isco, Benzema, Bale.
Doubtful: Ronaldo (lack of training)
Manchester United: De Gea; Valencia, Lindelöf, Smalling, Blind; Herrera, Matić, Pogba; Rashford, Lukaku, Mkhitaryan.
