It’s a final pre-season friendly in the United States for Erik ten Hag’s side tonight as they take on the German giants in Las Vegas. A busy summer Stateside has seen United beat Arsenal and lose to Real Madrid, while a youthful team were beaten by Wrexham, before they take to the field against Dortmund.
United have been able to integrate new signings Mason Mount and Andre Onana across the pond, and will soon be welcoming new £72million signing Rasmus Holjund to the fold after last night agreeing a remarkable fee for the unproven striker. Ten Hag has an almost fully fit squad, though will be without exciting young talent Kobbie Mainoo, who has flown home for treatment after being injured against Madrid.
Jadon Sancho prepares to face his former club and is expected to lead a strong line-up tonight. Follow the game LIVE below with our dedicated match blog, covering all the action from the pre-season friendly in the Allegiant Stadium.
Live updates
32min: Sancho breaks down the right after a neat pass from Van de Beek, looks up and tries to find Pellistri on the far side – but the cross is nowhere near. That was Sancho of United, not Sancho of Dortmund.
30min: Antony has been told to warm up.
28min: Forson and Adeyemi get heated, with the former grabbing the other’s shirt while squaring up. That appeared to start out of nothing. Both booked.
26min: Pellistri is so direct! Sule is really struggling to contain the youngster at the moment, giving away corner after corner.
GOAL!
24min: There’s the breakthrough and it’s a stunner!
Dalot is given far too much space on the edge of the area and simply curls one into the top corner!
20min: Another shot from Adeyemi, who proves quick on the turn and runs from deep, but again it is straight at Heaton.
17min: Forson needs to get his head up a bit more, twice he has missed (or ignored) the overlapping run of Dalot, who is in acres on the right.
14min: Dortmund now enjoying a bit more possession, playing it between defence and midfield.
11min: United looking for Pellistri again and again on the left, which isn’t his normal position. Interesting.
Dalot seeing plenty of the ball on the opposite flank, too.
9min: Eriksen pings a great ball across the pitch to Pellistri – are you watching Maguire? – which allows the youngster to take on the Dortmund defence but just runs it out of play.
