MANCHESTER UNITED are badly in need of a win to end their awful pre-season run – and they face French side Lens next.
The Red Devils suffered a 3-2 defeat to German giants Borussia Dortmund last time out.
And as a result, it now means that Erik ten Hag’s men have lost THREE on the bounce this summer.
However, United will be confident that they can overturn this bad run of form, especially with the advantage of playing at home.
But the English giants cannot afford to get complacent as they are coming up against the runners-up during the 2023 Ligue 1 campaign.
