Manchester United face a quick turnaround in their final two preseason games this weekend as Erik ten Hag's side play Lens in Manchester and Athletic Club in Dublin.

The Red Devils faced Lens at Old Trafford on August 5, winning 3-1, before flying to Dublin to take on Ernesto Valerde's team at the Aviva Stadium just over 24 hours later.

Ten Hag is hoping to use both games as a final test for his squad before the start of the Premier League campaign, following a poor end to their USA tour.

The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch it across the world, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.

Manchester United vs Athletic Club lineups

Ten Hag named a strong side for the win over Lens and nine of those players completed the 90 minutes. That means the starting XI in Dublin is set to be similar to the one from United's 3-2 loss to Borussia Dortmund in their final game on tour in the USA. 

Harry Maguire is likely to start as the speculation over his future at the club continues amid links to West Ham and Everton.

Manchester United projected lineup (4-2-3-1): Heaton (GK) — Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Williams — Eriksen, McTominay — Forson, Mejbri, Pellistri — Hugill

Valverde's charges have won just one of their six preseason games this summer including a 3-2 loss to Celtic and a 1-1 draw with local rivals Eibar.

Athletic Club projected lineup (4-3-3): Simon (GK) — Morcillo, Alvarez, Vesga, Vivian — Sancet, Garcia, De Marcos  — N. Williams, I. Williams, Berneguer

Man United vs Athletic Club prediction, odds

With two games in two days for United, it is difficult to assess form, particularly with Ten Hag forced to make major changes. Athletic's own uninspiring results will be a concern for Valverde and this clash should be an even battle.

Prediction: Man United 1-1 Athletic Club
