3 things to watch for as Real Madrid take on Manchester United
By Ben Sundock
What will the Real Madrid attack look like?
With Morata gone and Ronaldo not with the squad, it will be very interesting to see who Zidane chooses to start up front on the attack. It should be Benzema at striker, but the wingers are a different story.
Will Gareth Bale start on the right wing or will Lucas Vasquez? Will Marco Asensio feature in the starting XI after just arriving in the United States (he’s rumored not to be available for today)? Or will Isco play as a left winger or in his natural midfield position? So many points to ponder and I know the answer to none of them.
Only time will tell what Zizou decides to do.
This is a time of experimenting and it should b e very exciting to see some of Real’s youth out on display in this match. If you’ll recall, Mariano Diaz and Marco Asensio burst onto the scene last preseason and earned themselves a spot in the first team squad. Will that be the case with Mayoral, Llorente, or Vallejo this season?
We will learn the answer to all these questions come game time today at 5 P.M. eastern, 2 P.M. local time on ESPN.
