Manchester United vs Fiorentina LIVE early team news plus how to watch and kick-off time
Live updates from Old Trafford as Man United host Italian side Fiorentina in their final pre-season friendly.
Bryan Mbeumo has been included as Rúben Amorim selects his matchday squad to face Fiorentina on Saturday afternoon.
Manchester United will bring their 2025 pre-season to a close this Saturday, as Rúben Amorim’s Reds face Fiorentina at Old Trafford.
Following two wins and two draws against Premier League sides, United’s final warm-up sees them test themselves against Serie A opposition before the new campaign begins.
Supporters will have the chance to watch new signings Matheus Cunha, Diego Leon, and Bryan Mbeumo in action on home turf for the first time.
The occasion will also mark the return of former United goalkeeper David de Gea, back at Old Trafford for the first time since his departure in 2023.
With United’s final pre-season fixture commencing on Saturday afternoon, Amorim’s team have already arrived at Old Trafford as they prepare for the Premier League tie against Arsenal next weekend.
All three of the club’s confirmed new signings, Cunha, Mbeumo, and Leon, were all spotted entering the ground, while fans also saw the likes of Kobbie Mainoo, Bruno Fernandes, and Chido Obi.
However, injured trio Noussair Mazraoui, André Onana, and the “amazing” Joshua Zirkzee were not in attendance, although there is still a chance they may be at the ground and have just used a different entrance.
Onana is expected to be fit to face Arsenal next week, but the Fiorentina tie comes just too soon for the Cameroon international. Lisandro Martínez will be at the ground but is still undergoing rehabilitation after an ACL injury in February.
Benjamin Šeško signed his five-year deal with United on Saturday morning but is not expected to be part of the squad, although he is at Old Trafford and will be introduced to the crowd ahead of kick-off.

United announce Sesko signing
United have announced the signing of RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko.
The striker has joined United on a five-year deal and becomes their fourth signing of the summer.
He has said:
“The history of Manchester United is obviously very special but what really excites me is the future. When we discussed the project, it was clear that everything is in place for this team to continue to grow and compete for the biggest trophies again soon. From the moment that I arrived, I could feel the positive energy and family environment that the club has created. It is clearly the perfect place to reach my maximum level and fulfil all of my ambitions. I cannot wait to start learning from Ruben [Amorim] and connecting with my team-mates to achieve the success that we all know we are capable of together.”
