TEAM NEWS
Jose Mourinho will want to show off the strength of his squad for his first match at Old Trafford, while Ronald Koeman is also expected to bring a good team. The home side has no injury worries after their pre-season friendly with Manchester City was cancelled in China due to poor weather and a bad pitch. Bastian Schweinsteiger, however, has not been training with the first team amid reports that Mourinho wants to get rid of the Germany midfielder, so is almost certain to be absent.
Meanwhile, Everton's Phil Jagielka is also likely to be absent as he is still struggling with the hamstring problem that kept him out of Euro 2016, while fellow defender Matthew Pennington is also a doubt. Romelu Lukaku could also play, despite reports linking him with a move back to former club Chelsea.
