The team led by Manchester United coach Amorin has returned to the Carrington training base after finishing his trip to the United States. Now the team is fully preparing for the warm-up match with Fiorentina. This game has attracted a lot of attention from fans, and more than 60,000 people have booked tickets. As the new season approaches, the atmosphere on the scene will become more and more popular.
In this game, new players Cunha and Mbemo will make their debut in Old Trafford as Manchester United players for the first time this summer. Cunha has previously made a debut against Leeds United, West Ham United and Everton, which will be his fourth time playing for the team, and the players are gradually integrating into the new team. Mbemo joined later and his pre-season preparation progress lags slightly, but he has made his debut against Everton in the final match of the US Tour and is expected to win playing time against Fiorentina.
In addition to the new player's appearance, Old Trafford will also usher in a familiar face, former Manchester United goalkeeper De Gea. If Fiorentina coach Pioli decides to send him to the game, this will be the first time De Gea has returned to Old Trafford as a player since leaving Manchester United in 2023.
De Gea has played for Manchester United for 12 years and is one of the most representative goalkeepers in the team's history. He has won many honors with the team, including the Premier League, Europa League, FA Cup and League Cup. This return to Old Trafford as a Fiorentine player marks the first time this meritorious goalkeeper has stepped onto his former home court as an "opponent". Whether it is him, Manchester United's new player, or the existing lineup, it will definitely receive a warm welcome in this Dream Theater.
At the same time, this pre-season final game against Fiorentina is a valuable warm-up opportunity for Manchester United to face Arsenal in the first round of the Premier League. The game is of great significance to the whole team. It is not only a stage to show off the results of pre-season training, but also a key node for regaining the rhythm and confidence of victory and laying a solid foundation for the new season.
