Manchester United’s International Champions Cup encounter with Inter Milan in Singapore could be a little spicier than other pre-season fixtures. The Nerazzurri, now managed by former Chelsea coach Antonio Conte, have been eyeing a possible deal for Red Devils striker Romelu Lukaku. Both have made positive starts to the pre-season campaigns but who will come out on top? Bet on the game here. 

This match against the Italians will be United’s third warm-up match, following games against Perth Glory and Leeds in Australia, which resulted in two wins. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been trying to integrate two new signings Daniel James and Aaron Wan-Bissaka, whilst also challenging the old guard to take their game to the next level.

It is the new era of Conte at Inter now. With Champions League secured and a strong squad and a few additions before the window closes, things are not looking bad for the Nerazzurri. The Red Devils have dominated them in their last few meetings but an entertaining game is in store.
