Prediction for Manchester United vs Wrexham
Pre-season results should always be treated with caution, particularly with both managers likely to rotate heavily, but Manchester United still possess significantly more quality despite the absence of several World Cup stars.
Wrexham should provide a competitive test and have enough attacking quality to get on the scoresheet, but United’s superior depth ought to see Carrick’s side begin their summer with a comfortable win.
Prediction: Manchester United 3-1 Wrexham
