Team News
Because the fixture falls before the end of the World Cup, United's international stars who went deep into the tournament will be given extended breaks. Manager Michael Carrick is expected to field a youthful line-up with some experienced players, such as Mason Mount, who aims to kick-start his United career after injury issues.
Wrexham manager Phil Parkinson will use this high-profile clash as a fitness barometer before their pre-season tour of the United States. The Red Dragons remain a Championship club after narrowly missing out on a play-off place last season.
