The pre-season preparation of the sides in Pool A of this year’s International Champions Cup is set to finish with a flourish as Manchester United resume their rivalry with Real Madrid in a clash of two of the most dominant clubs in the history of European football. The clash is laced in compelling story lines, from Van Gaal’s tactical experimentation to Cristiano Ronaldo facing off once more against the club that gave him his big break.
In practical terms, however, victory is important for Real owing to the fact that, after the penalty-shootout defeat to Inter which followed their 1-1 draw in normal time, Los Merengues went on to lose 1-0 to Roma through a Totti penalty. These results mean that Madrid are unable to retain the International Champions Cup crown that they claimed in 2013. A win against United would restore some much needed momentum for Ancelotti’s side ahead of the new campaign.

Manchester United Match Preview
United have impressed in remaining unbeaten so far under Louis Van Gaal’s stewardship. In addition to the defeat of Serie A sides Roma and Inter, the Red Devils stuck seven past the LA Galaxy on the Dutchman’s managerial debut.
Van Gaal’s men, by contrast, are two wins from two in this year’s tournament. The Reds beat Roma 3-2 in their opener and saw off Inter on penalties after having been held 0-0 in regulation time. A win against Real would seal their passage to the final next week. But this will be Van Gaal’s first serious challenge as United boss; a clash with the reigning European Champions is likely to prove a telling acid-test of just how far United have come on since permanently replacing Moyes with the Dutchman after the World Cup.
Van Gaal has moved quickly to implement his favoured 3-5-2 formation at Old Trafford (the system that the Netherlands employed in reaching the Semi-Finals in Brazil) and this tactical shift has placed considerable demands on the likes of Antonio Valencia, Ashley Young, and Luke Shaw who are unused to functioning in what is effectively the role of attacking wing-back.
Van Gaal himself pointed out that, as things stand, the 19 year-old Shaw does not have the legs run the left flank on his own and may need support.
A back three of Jones, Evans, and Smalling has looked solid; however, more depth will be required in the centre of defence before the new league season gets underway. United have continued their pursuit of Arsenal’s out-of-favour captain, Thomas Vermaelen for this purpose and it is widely expected that the Gunners will cash in on a bench player who has only a year left to run on his current deal.
The absence of out-and-out wingers in the 3-5-2 also places question marks over the futures of players like Wilfred Zaha and Shinji Kagawa who have been ineffective in a more central berth.
The tactical shift could, though salvage Chicharito Hernandez’s Old Trafford career as Van Gaal will need at least four strikers in his squad to cover the two attacking positions that the formation accommodates.
