What TV channel will Manchester United’s friendlies be on and can I live stream them?

Manchester United’s football director John Murtough believes that the two friendlies are a great opportunity for Premier League return preparation.

And it also provides Erik Ten Hag with the chance to give some of the younger players a run out.

Murtough said: These matches will help ensure that our whole squad is prepared for the resumption of club football after the World Cup, as we look to maintain our positive momentum into the second half of the season. 

“The week-long training camp and matches against Cadiz CF and Real Betis Balompie will also provide an opportunity for some of our younger players to experience what it is like to train within a first-team environment, as well as play against two competitive La Liga sides.”
