Manchester United ended last season in a very bad shape, as the Reds have not won any of their last five games. However, this is the first pre-season game, it's a clean sheet for Manchester United and they want to win a big win as they try to regain their confidence for next season.

Prediction
As this is Manchester United's first friendly pre-season game, do not expect the club to be at its best. The focus is currently on fitness, restoring self-confidence and badimilating new recruits to the team.
Perth Glory will not be a kid's game either; they are missing some key players but they should still give United some trouble. The player to watch will be the new acquisition Bruno Fornaroli. If a Perth player has to score on Saturday, it will be him.
Prediction: Manchester United 1-0 Perth Glory
