MANCHESTER UNITED go up against Athletic Bilbao TODAY in pre-season.

The Red Devils beat Lens 3-1 at Old Trafford on Saturday but are now already back in action over in Dublin.

And similar to last year, Erik ten Hag‘s men won’t have much time to enjoy the result.

United will be in unfamiliar territory as this will be the first time that the English giants have played in Dublin since Jose Mourinho was in charge six years ago.

Furthermore, Athletic have got an impressive record against the Red Devils so it could be a tough test for the Premier League outfit.

Team news

Erik ten Hag will be switching up his starting line up after the match against Lens just a day before.

Rasmus Hojlund officially put pen to paper on the day of the Lens friendly, but he will not be playing against Bilbao.

It has emerged the £72million signing sustained an injury in pre-season training with his now former club Atalanta.

That definitely rules him out of the season opener here a week on Monday against Wolves.

But he is also a doubt for the trip to Tottenham the following Saturday.
