Manchester United will start their International Champions Cup run against Mexico's most laureated side, Club América. Las Águilas might benefit from the fact that they have already played two games, with the English side just shaking off the dust from their holiday season. With the sights set on David De Gea, who is still subject of rumors concerning his future, and the possible debut of players such as Memphis Depay, Matteo Darmian and Bastian Schweinsteiger, fans should be in for a good match with plenty of goal scoring chances.
One of United's additions this year, Bastian Schweinsteiger, referred to what it will mean for him to make his debut with the Red Devils after spending 17 years with Bayern Munich. Even though he was quoted to have said Manchester United is a bigger club than Bayern Munich, the German midfielder took his Twitter feed to set the record straight.

During their training session prior to the game's start, Juan Mata showed his class against his team-mates. Phil Jones might not be so happy after what he did.
Earlier this week, former PSV Eindhoven wingman Memphis Depay shared his thoughts about his upcoming debut with the Red Devils, as he gets ready for tonight's match.
Good morning from Seattle. I feel blessed today. Knowing where I come from and where I am today, I'm so grateful.

Their opponents, who have played a couple of games in this international competition, will be waiting for a quality performance by Andrés Andrade, who was named Man of the match against San José Earthquakes. The Colombian midfielder scored his team's first goal and handed the assist to help Las Aguilas win the game.
