Another opportunity to monitor United's development
Manchester United vs. Crystal Palace is a matchup that brings to mind the 1990 and 2016 FA Cup finals, but tonight the two clubs square off at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Australia in a preseason friendly.
While new manager Erik ten Hag has stated he is not overly invested in preseason performances, there have been several intriguing factors that have increased interest in United's season-long preparation. United at least moved the ball purposefully in their triumph over Liverpool, and there were indications that Ten Hag was making his mark with full-backs sliding into midfield and more defensive pressure from the front.Lisandro Martinez, a defender for Ajax, will be joining the team soon, which will help this transition to a new playing style.
There has been some diversion from the Cristiano Ronaldo situation. Ronaldo has stated that he wants to leave Old Trafford and has skipped the tour due to family obligations, but he might be too expensive to leave, thus United is now thinking about exercising a one-year contract extension option. Ten Hag has insisted that he wants to keep Ronaldo for his goals and that the focus of the remaining transfer window should be to enhance the center midfield.
On August 5, Patrick Vieira's Palace host his former team Arsenal in the opening match of the Premier League season.However, their preseason hasn't exactly been easy. Wilfried Zaha, Eberechi Eze, Christian Benteke, and Marc Guehi are among the nine players who have not yet visited Australia. Connor Gallagher, who has returned to his original club Chelsea, has left the Palace squad that placed 12th in the league and advanced to the FA Cup semifinal. However, Palace is still bringing in fresh, exciting talent, as Cheick Doucoure joined them from Lens for a little under £20 million.
