Manchester United will begin their work ahead of the 2018-19 season with their usual North American tour. This time, Mourinho's men will kick off their pre-season friendlies with a game against Liga MX's most-winning side, Club América.
Due to the fact that the FIFA World Cup just came to an end three days ago, Jose Mourinho decided to give his stars some time to rest before they join the team. Romelu Lukaku, Paul Pogba and David De Gea won't be around for their North American tour, and some of them might not return to the team until the first days of August.
Added to those absences, Alexis Sánchez had his U.S. visa denied, which will forbid him from playing in the upcoming games with the Red Devils.
On the other side of the pitch, Club América will try to use this game to end their pre-season on a high. Coach Miguel Herrera will have to work overtime to try and replace Jeremy Menez and Cecilio Domínguez, who picked up a couple of injuries last week. With their Apertura 2018 debut just around the corner, the flamboyant coach will search for alternatives to substitute these men with their sights set on winning their first title in over four years.
