Manchester United Confirm Squad for Wrexham Pre-Season Clash

Manchester United have announced the squad that will face Wrexham in Saturday's pre-season friendly in Helsinki, with summer signing Andrey Santos among the players expected to feature.

The Brazilian midfielder, who recently completed his move to Old Trafford, has been training with the squad since his arrival and could make his unofficial debut as the Red Devils begin preparations for the new campaign.

However, not every new arrival will be available for selection. Goalkeeper Karl Darlow and striker Benjamin Sesko have both been left out of the travelling squad as they continue their fitness programmes at Carrington.

Midfielder Youri Tielemans will also miss the fixture after being granted additional time off following his international commitments with Belgium at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The squad includes a blend of experienced first-team players and promising academy talents. Senior stars such as Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw, Mason Mount and Joshua Zirkzee have all been selected, providing leadership alongside several young players eager to impress during pre-season.

Young prospects including Harry Amass, Chido Obi, Ethan Wheatley, Shea Lacey and the Fletcher brothers have also been included, giving them another opportunity to stake a claim for places in the senior squad ahead of the new season.

Manchester United's coaching staff are expected to use the friendly to assess player fitness, integrate new signings and evaluate emerging talents before competitive football resumes.

The clash against Wrexham forms part of the club's preparations for the 2026/27 campaign and offers supporters an early glimpse of the squad under the current coaching setup.

With several first-team regulars unavailable, the match could provide valuable minutes for younger players hoping to make an impression and strengthen their chances of earning more opportunities during the upcoming season.
