Man Utd vs Cadiz: Team news

Senior players including David de Gea, Victor Lindelof and Anthony Martial are all likely to get minutes, as Man Utd build up to the return of the Premier League season.

Ten Hag’s 29-man squad also includes star youngsters Zidane Iqbal and Alejandro Garnacho. Both players are likely to start at the Estadio Nuevo Mirandilla, given the depleted state of the Man Utd squad.

Meanwhile, Teden Mengi is set to start at centre-back given the participation of Maguire, Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane in the World Cup latter stages.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka, who has only played four minutes of first-team football this term, is likely to take part given Diogo Dalot’s World Cup involvement with Portugal.

Man Utd vs Cadiz: Predicted lineup

Predicted XI: De Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Mengi, Williams; McTominay, Iqbal, Van de Beek; Elanga, Martial, Garnacho.
