Manchester United take on La Liga side Cadiz CF in a friendly in Spain on Wednesday night.
United were last in action against Fulham at Craven Cottage in the Premier League last month before the break for the World Cup began and this week's training camp in Spain is providing Erik ten Hag with a chance to prepare his side for the restart.
The Reds will play Cadiz tonight and they will play a second friendly match against Real Betis on Saturday evening.
Regarding team news, Jadon Sancho, who is continuing his individual training programme, and Axel Tuanzebe are absent from the training camp, but Brandon Williams and Aaron Wan-Bissaka were fit enough to make the trip and start the match. Ten Hag has a blend of experience and youth at his disposal for the match but goalkeeper David de Gea is absent for an unspecified reason.

Key Events
OPINION: United careers are starting as others are ending
The 11 Manchester United representatives remaining at the World Cup can rest easy, going off the form of this XI.
United were 2-0 down in the 13th minute to Cadiz and those afforded their first start under Erik ten Hag may have already had their last as far as competitive encounters go. They only lasted a half.
Some of the prodigies who emerged were more dynamic than almost all of the starters. Cadiz beat the rookies with an average age of 18-and-a-half by the same scoreline as the starters.

United player ratings vs Cadiz as Iqbal and Mainoo good
Martin Dubravka
Well beaten for both goals and the only player to stay on for the second-half. 5
Aaron Wan-Bissaka
Went through the motions on his first start under Erik ten Hag and largely looked off the pace. 4
Victor Lindelof
Not obviously culpable for either goal as Cadiz went 2-0 up inside the first 13 minutes. 5

Final whistle sounds in Cadiz
So there goes the final whistle as Cadiz win 4-2 against two United teams.
Anthony Martial (pen) and Kobbie Mainoo scored the goals in a losing cause.
Stay tuned for reaction from United manager Ten Hag and analysis.
Two minutes added on
Shoretire makes himself busy in the penalty area as the Cadiz goalkeeper comes out to claim. Even with the injury breaks, there will be not much (if any) added time here. Fredericson attempts to link up with Savage on the near side.
Two minutes have now been added on. Spoke too soon!
Into the final minutes
Into the final minutes now and Cadiz have utilised their experience upon the restart. Mainoo has taken his chance with a goal and Ten Hag will be making note after note on his next generation. Can they grab a late consolation?
Fredericson with a clumsy tackle
Fredericson gives away a clumsy free-kick.
It might have been yellow in a 'proper' game.
Into the final 10 minutes
Savage hits one at the goalkeeper as United push and probe forward.
Whatever the result, this will be an important lesson for the youngsters.
GOAL CADIZ - ALARCON (4-2)
Cadiz have made it 4-2 on the counter-attack with Tomas Alarcon scoring.
It was an incisive breakway after United offered up possession on 18 yards.
Shoretire down after colission
Another break in play while Shoretire receives some treatment. It looked like a clash between three players as he attempted to drive his way between two opponents. Fortunately, he looks to be okay. A few United players are warming-up.
F/K opportunity for United
Ten Hag gave out a few instructions to his young players during that short break. What an opportunity they have to impress him first-hand tonight. Play has resumed and United win a dangerous free-kick.
It's swung in and promptly sails beyond the target.
