Manchester United is hoping to make three victories from their opening three pre-season matches when they take on Premier League side Crystal Palace live on Kilamity today on 19th of July, 2022.
The Red Devils have already beaten Liverpool and Melbourne Victory in their two friendly matches this summer, while Palace will enter this contest after a 2-0 loss to Liverpool in Singapore on Friday.
Head coach Erik ten Hag will not be getting too carried away with the recent successes, but there have been plenty of positive signs, and the fact that the team has scored eight goals in the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo pleased the new management team.
Anthony Martial has scored in back-to-back matches, while new signing member, Tyrell Malacia has impressed at left-back, and the Red Devils are now set to round off their tour against Palace and Villa before heading back to Europe for friendly matches against Atletico Madrid and Rayo Vallecano.
After these events, Manchester United will open their 2022-23 Premier League campaign at home to Brighton & Hove Albion on the 7th of August, 2022.
Christian Eriksen was confirmed as the second signing member of the team, while a deal with Ajaxβs Lisandro Martinez is rumored to be on the verge of going through, but none of the mentioned players will join up with the squad in Australia, with their debuts instead potentially coming against either Atletico or Rayo.
Palace, meanwhile, has played four friendly matches this summer, drawing with Accrington Stanley and beating Millwall before suffering a 2-0 loss to Liverpool in the opening game of their pre-season tour.
