Manchester United return to pre-season action this Saturday when they face Scottish giants Rangers in a friendly match.
The Red Devils may have just captured the signature of wonderkid Leny Yoro, but it's not all smiles within the camp following a 1-0 defeat to Rosenborg during their first pre-season outing. Erik ten Hag launched a scathing attack on his side's performance, with standards needing to improve swiftly.

Rangers team news
It's expected to be a summer of transition for Rangers under Philippe Clement and the club are set to be very active in the market. Right-back James Tavernier could leave for Trabzonspor, while the likes of Todd Cantwell and Connor Goldson could also exit.
Rangers fielded a strong side for their clash with Ajax recently and should do the same against Man Utd this weekend. However, midfielder Nico Raskin came off injured before half-time in the Netherlands and could miss out here.
Former Man Utd goalkeeper Jack Butland will guard the net at Murrayfield.
Rangers predicted lineup vs Man Utd
Rangers predicted lineup vs Man Utd (4-2-3-1): Butland; Sterling, Souttar, Davies, Yilmaz; Diomande, Barron; Dowell, Lawrence, Matondo; Dessers.
Man Utd team news
Man Utd are still without Harry Maguire and Tyrell Malacia who are following individual training programmes on home soil. However, having missed the clash with Rosenborg, the likes of Andre Onana, Jadon Sancho and Antony could all feature against Rangers in their first pre-season outings.
As could Scotland international Scott McTominay who has just returned from his holidays, but new signing Leny Yoro won't be available.
It's likely to be another experimental lineup from Erik ten Hag, who is still missing the likes of Kobbie Mainoo, Lisandro Martinez and Alejandro Garnacho due to international commitments. The Dutchman may well field two separate lineups in each half.

Rangers vs Man Utd score prediction
After a youthful side was beaten 1-0 in Norway, Ten Hag will be looking for a reaction from a team that may have a few more senior heads involved this time around. However, it's unlikely to be a swashbuckling performance from Man Utd given their absentees, especially at the back.
Rangers will pose a stern test and they have most of their starting XI available at present. It could be a high-scoring affair as both sides make changes, as is so often the case in pre-season.
Prediction: Rangers 2-2 Man Utd
