Manchester United face a familiar foe in the second of two games at the MCG in their 2022 pre-season tour down under.

The Red Devils took on A-League side Melbourne Victory on Friday and four days later, they’re set for an all-Premier League tie against Crystal Palace.

Erik ten Hag’s squad will wrap up the Australia leg of their pre-season schedule in Perth on Saturday against Steven Gerrard’s Aston Villa but first they’ve got the Eagles in their sights – led by another foe of old in Patrick Vieira.

Palace ensured that Ralf Rangnick’s time at Old Trafford ended in the worst possible style as they beat a dismal Man Utd side 1-0 on the final day of last season.

But the south London club will be without many of their heavy hitters after leaving a host of first teamers back at home.

As we are told routinely in the summer months, results are not important in pre-season but a victory and impressive performance against Tuesday’s opponents could be considered a somewhat meaningful marker of the progress made since ten Hag’s appointment.

The Dutchman is unlikely to ascribe to that way of thinking but there will be plenty of players in his squad determined to right a few wrongs and prove themselves to their new coach. 

That should make for an enthralling contest in front of another packed-out crowd at the MCG.
