Where to watch Man United vs Rangers live, TV channel, pre-season friendly kick-off time

For the second season in a row, Manchester United travel to Scotland for an exciting pre-season match.

Manchester United will play Rangers on Saturday 20 July at Murrayfield Stadium, normally the home of the Scotland national rugby union team. It will be the first time these two teams have faced each other since 2010, when they were in the same UEFA Champions League group.

United are coming off a 1-0 defeat to Rosenborg in Norway earlier this week in the Red Devils’ first action of pre-season. Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Casemiro, Mason Mount and Marcus Rashford all started the match, playing the first 45 minutes, while reserves and academy players made up the numbers.

Rangers, who started their league season early, are well into pre-season training. The club beat Hamilton Academical 5-2 at home, followed by a goalless draw with Standard Liege and a 2-1 defeat to Ajax during the club’s training camp in the Netherlands.
