The Manchester United team will challenge the RC Lens team in a Friendly Match in Old Trafford Stadium, Manchester on Saturday, August 05, 2023. For streaming coverage of Man Utd vs Lens, preview and how to watch it, see in this article.
Man Utd will have their last trial match before starting the new season. Their opponent is RC Lens, last season’s runner-up in France. This match will take place on Saturday (5/8) at Old Trafford Stadium, Manchester.
Man Utd is eager to win to restore the confidence of the fans after 3 consecutive defeats. However, Lens will not be easily beaten by their toughness.
Lens has never met Man United in the past. When compared in terms of reputation, Man United is considered far superior to Lens’ new opponents such as Dunkerque, Amiens, Sochaux, Dijon or Dijon.
RC Lens has gone through 5 test matches without losing (won 2, drew 3) to heat up the 2023/24 season. Meanwhile, Man Utd has lost the last 3 matches. Most notably, Man Utd had lost 1-3 to Wrexham, a team that is only in League Two. This was an unacceptable result for ‘The Reds Devils’, even though they only used a reserve team.
Lens had the best defense in Ligue 1 last season with only 29 goals conceded. Facing a team that has such a solid back line, ‘The Reds Devils’ will be very difficult to score many goals.
For this match, Lens will not be strengthened by their two main players, namely striker Lois Openda and midfielder Seko Fofana, because they have moved to a new club. Last month, Openda and Fofana joined Leipzig and Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr for 43 million euros and 19 million euros respectively.
Meanwhile, Man Utd also has a player who is injured, namely young midfielder Kobbie Mainoo. He injured his ankle in a friendly match against Real Madrid and had to leave the field after 6 minutes. According to sources, he will not recover in time for the start of the season.
