Louis Van Gaal and Manchester United begin their U.S. tour against Club America at CenturyLink Field in Seattle. The Dutch coach will have to prove he is making the right decision by letting Victor Valdez and Robin Van Persie go over the summer.
Memphis
The Mexican striker is recovering from a collarbone fracture suffered in a friendly game with El Tri. While Real Madrid made it clear they would not buy him, LVG may be backtracking on his words after saying Javier Hernandez did not fit in his scheme.
Random fact, CenturyLink is the noisiest stadium in the United States. It is the house of the former Super Bowl champions, the Seattle Seahawks. The stadium can get so loud it even moves during some games. The house of what fans call the "12th Man", can be pretty intimidating if you are not from Seattle.
Club America is on tour with a new coach. Ignacio Ambriz replaced Gustavo
Las Aguilas are the team with the most championships in the Liga MX with 12. They were able to cause some trouble to L.A. Galaxy in their International Champions Cup debut but failed to maintain their lead and feel to Steven Gerrard and Bruce Arena's team 2-1 last Saturday. They just defeated San Jose 2-1 on July 14.
While Club America may be a bit more fatigued by the beginning of this game, their rhythm could be better than the one Manchester United is expected to showcase ad this is only their first game of the pre-season. It is also the game that Bastian Schweinsteiger could appear as a Red Devil after signing just a few days ago.
