Manchester United To Play In Melbourne For The First Time Since 1999. Manchester United will play A-League Men outfit Melbourne Victory in Melbourne for the first time Friday. There isn’t any precedent, as they haven’t played in the city since 1999.
More than 100,000 will gather to watch Manchester United v Melbourne Cricket Ground in person on the first match of their upcoming tour.
When and where is the game taking place? The game will start at 8:05 pm local time (11:05 am BST) on Friday, July 15, at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne, Australia.
Watch the Melbourne Victory vs. Manchester United game with a subscription to MUTV. The game will be shown worldwide on the channel, which requires cable subscription.
United are set to be without Cristiano Ronaldo due to family reasons, with the Portuguese superstar not traveling with the team.
There will be plenty of high-profile players on display in United’s lineup. Bruno Fernandes, Harry Maguire, and Raphael Varane are some of the big names likely to appear on the lineup.
With the signing of left-back Tyrell Malacia, eyes will be on how he performs at the Red Devils.
