FC Barcelona vs Manchester United 8 August, 2012


Manchester United will be playing a pre-season friendly with Barcelona before the start of their campaign for the Premier League. The Red Devils will be facing the Catalans on August 8th after meeting last time in summer last year in Washington.
That was a preserved memory when United walked away with a 2-1 win. Both the teams have faced each other quite a few times now, giving fans an amazing game to watch. These teams also met in two of the last four Champions League finals and in the semifinals of 2008. For team news, only one thing is sure by no that Ryan Giggs will not be available for the squad as he will be leading the Olympics team.

United will be having a tough week before the fixture after coming back from China and South Africa in the coming weeks. The previous Saturday from the match, Manchester United will be in Norway to face Valerenga.
