9 Aug
Summary
- Fiorentina unbeaten in pre-season, won 2 and drew 1 of 3 matches
- New recruits Cunha and Mbeumo combine well with Fernandes
- United to unveil RB Leipzig striker Sesko before kick-off
As of August 9th, 2025, Fiorentina, led by manager Ruben Amorim, are preparing for their final pre-season match against Manchester United. The Italian side has been unbeaten in their preparation period, winning two and drawing one of their three matches during their tour of the United States.
Fiorentina's new recruits, Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, have featured together for the first time and have combined well with captain Bruno Fernandes in the front three. The team's strong pre-season form, which includes a 2-1 win over West Ham, a 4-1 victory against Bournemouth, and a 2-2 draw with Everton, has seen them claim the Premier League Summer Series title.
On the other hand, Manchester United will be looking to bounce back from their pre-season campaign as they prepare to unveil RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko ahead of the match. Sesko, who was previously on United's striker shortlist, has now joined the club, beating out competition from Newcastle.
The match against Fiorentina will be United's final warm-up before they open their Premier League campaign against Arsenal at Old Trafford on August 17th. The Gunners' squad will include a familiar face in the form of Viktor Gyokeres, who played under Amorim at Sporting Lisbon and was also on United's radar this summer.
