Manchester United vs Lens 05.08.2023
The tour to the USA ended in an unpleasant fashion for Man United as they were smashed with another loss to Dortmund. This does not look good at all right now as it marked their three straight preseason loss and has started to worry the red devils’ die-hard fans across the globe. Erik ten Hag needs to find a remedy to the serious flaws that have just started to come up while they have left with just a week before their first game of the new season. A win is needed to lift up the spirit of this squad.
On the contrary, Lens has built impressive form in their preseason matches so far by remaining undefeated in their 6 straight games. Unfortunately, they failed to score in their recent tie with Torino. Lens needs more work out not just for Ligue 1’s new season but also for the sake of weighing their ability to take on an experienced team in this season’s Champions League games. We are looking forward to seeing a very compact play from the French men as they seek to be resilient and improve their backline to give assurance of solid defense for the tough coming season in the domestic league and European top competitions.
We are predicting a win to Man United and no more than 3 goals to be scored.
