For the second consecutive season, Manchester United are heading north to Scotland for an exciting preseason game.
Manchester United are set to face Rangers on Saturday, July 20 at Murrayfield Stadium, normally home to Scotland's Rugby Union National Team. It's the first time these two teams have faced off since 2010, when they were paired together in the same UEFA Champions League group.
United are coming off a 1-0 loss to Rosenborg in Norway earlier this week in the Red Devils' first action of the preseason. Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Casemiro, Mason Mount, and Marcus Rashford all started the match and played the first 45 minutes, while reserve and academy players made up the numbers.
Rangers, with an earlier start to their league season, is already well into preseason training. The club beat Hamilton Academical 5-2 at home before a scoreless draw with Standard Liege and a 2-1 defeat to Ajax during the club's training camp in the Netherlands.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this preseason match between Manchester United and Rangers.

Manchester United vs. Rangers lineups & team news
The big news for United fans is that new signing Leny Yoro was included in the 26-man matchday squad for this game and is set to make his first start for the club barely 48 hours after his transfer was finalised.
The Red Devils confirmed that Antony, Victor Lindelof and Marcus Rashford are absent with "small niggles" while Harry Maguire continues to work on his fitness following the injury that kept him out of the FA Cup final and Euro 2024.
Joshua Zirkzee will not be involved, but this will be the first United appearance for Jadon Sancho since last August.

Nico Raskin is likely out for the next six weeks with an ankle injury sustained against Ajax.

With it being preseason, it's hard to know what kind of lineup coach Erik ten Hag will use and whether Man United's big-name players will be able to overpower Rangers this early in preseason.
It should be an exciting match for Man United fans north of the border and a fun atmosphere created by Glasgow Rangers fans in Edinburgh.
