Man United v Melbourne Victory: Team news

Cristiano Ronaldo is yet to return to training, meaning that he's not among the players who have made the pre-season trip to Australia.

However, Harry Maguire missed the Liverpool clash in Thailand with a slight injury but is expected to be back involved here.

Bruno Fernandes and Raphael Varane are expected to be among the other big names involved.

Former United star Nani signed a two-year deal with Melbourne Victory earlier this month and could make his debut against his old club.

Man United v Melbourne Victory: What has been said?

Ten Hag was pleased with the manner of United's win over Liverpool but claimed there was still room for improvement.

He said: "Of course it will take time, believe me I have seen a lot of mistakes but I will not say [what they were].

"But to be honest, Liverpool played with three teams and they were not at their strongest, so we are not overestimating them [our players]. We saw some really good things.

"What you see is we have a lot of creativity and speed in the front and we have potential."
