Manchester United have named a 25-man squad for Saturday's pre-season fixture against Championship side Wrexham in Helsinki. Due to the World Cup, many senior players are unavailable, leaving only a handful of first-team regulars to travel to Finland.
First-team players and new signing
Among the first-team players included are Harry Maguire, Patrick Dorgu, Leny Yoro, Luke Shaw, Ayden Heaven, Mason Mount, Joshua Zirkzee and Bryan Mbeumo. New signing Andrey Santos, who joined on Monday, is also in the squad and could make his debut against Wrexham.
Goalkeepers Tom Heaton, Radek Vitek and Dermot Mee are travelling, but new signing Karl Darlow is absent.
Academy players given opportunities
Several academy players have been included, such as Jack Fletcher, Tyler Fletcher, Toby Collyer, Shea Lacey and Chido Obi. Other youngsters have been handed a chance to impress in the absence of senior counterparts. Jaydan Kamason is expected to gain minutes because United have no other right-backs available, while Ethan Williams could also feature due to a lack of left-sided wingers.
Pre-season schedule and competitive start
The clash with Wrexham marks United's first pre-season game. The Reds will also face Rosenborg, Atletico Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Leeds and AC Milan. Their first competitive game of the season is on August 22, away at newly promoted Hull City.
