Manchester United face Atlético Madrid in a preseason friendly this Saturday, with Strawberry Arena serving as the venue on the outskirts of Stockholm, Sweden.
Both clubs have been prominent forces in European football throughout much of the 21st century, yet their paths have crossed only twice since 1991. The two sides met in the Champions League round of 16 in 2021–22, with Diego Simeone orchestrating a commanding two-legged triumph for Atlético.
Simeone continues in charge for another campaign, despite Atléti dropping to fourth place in La Liga last season. He prioritized the Champions League, but Arsenal proved too strong for them in the semifinals.
Man Utd will return to European competition next season following a third-place finish in the Premier League, and they've made an encouraging start to Michael Carrick's debut preseason in charge. After a 1–0 defeat to Wrexham, United's youngsters stole the show with a dominant 5–0 win over Rosenborg.
While Atléti aren't at full strength, they still represent a considerable step up in quality from the modest Norwegian opposition.
Here's everything you need to know about watching Saturday's preseason friendly.
