Before the World Cup break began, United last played Fulham at Craven Cottage in the Premier League.
This week’s training camp in Spain gives Erik ten Hag a chance to get his team ready for the return.
The Reds will play Cadiz tonight and Real Betis on Saturday night in a second friendly match.
In terms of team news, Jadon Sancho, who is continuing his individual training, and Axel Tuanzebe are not attending the training camp.
On the other hand, Brandon Williams and Aaron Wan-Bissaka were healthy enough to travel to the game and start it.
For the match, Ten Hag has a mix of youth and experience, but goalkeeper David de Gea is absent for unknown reasons.
Iqbal explains what friendly taught United’s youth Zidane Iqbal has acknowledged that United’s youth will benefit from adapting to various conditions against European opposition.
United played Cadiz CF on Wednesday night as they traveled to Spain for a week of training camp over the weekend.
Even though United lost the friendly match 4-2, the young Reds players got a chance to play in front of Erik ten Hag.
Iqbal was another young player to make a statement after winning a penalty kick that was converted by Anthony Martial early in the first half after an excellent run into the box.
Kobbie Mainoo, who was 17 years old at the time, also scored.
OPINION:
The 11 Manchester United players who will be representing their country at the World Cup can rest easy based on this team’s performance.
United fell behind 2-0 to Cadiz in the 13th minute, and the players who got their first start under Erik ten Hag may have had their last competitive game. They were only half-lives.
Some of the emergence’s prodigies were more dynamic than nearly all of the beginnings. Cadiz won by the same amount of points as the starters over the rookies, whose average age was 18 and a half.
Ratings for United players against Cadiz:
Iqbal and Mainoo are good, and Martin Dubravka is the only player who stays for the second half.
He was beaten for both goals.
5 Aaron Wan-Bissaka appeared to be off the pace for the most part in his first start under Erik ten Hag.
4 Victor Lindelof Didn’t seem to be to blame for either goal as Cadiz led 2-0 after 13 minutes.
5 Teden Mengi Rusty makes his senior debut after more than a year as he prepares for a January loan return to the Championship.
4 Brandon Williams struggled to adapt to United’s new approach after wasting a free kick from which Cadiz scored their first goal.
4 Zidane Iqbal worked well with Anthony Martial to earn the penalty kick, which he converted, in yet another encouraging friendly performance.
6 Scott McTominay’s seniority didn’t matter much, and he didn’t do much from midfield in an unsatisfying half.
5 Anthony Elanga A reckless performance from a player who might have to start against Burnley on December 21. 4
Donny van de Beek
Unimportant once more, Van de Beek neglected to sparkle and was generally all around as unknown as on his serious beginnings last month.
4 Alejandro Garnacho Played on both the left and right, never settling on a position.
