Manchester United are set to square off against Fiorentina on Saturday afternoon in their final pre-season friendly of the summer.
The Red Devils have been in fine form during their recent Premier League Summer Series tour across the pond in the United States. Following a 2-1 victory over West Ham, a resounding 4-1 thrashing of Bournemouth and a 2-2 draw with Everton, morale is high within the United camp.
Manager Ruben Amorim will now have a key opportunity to experiment with his starting line-up ahead of their Premier League curtain-raiser against Arsenal, as his team returns to action on home turf. Fortunately for fans unable to make it to watch live, they'll be able to enjoy the match from the comfort of their own homes.
Here, Wales Online provides a rundown of where the game will be broadcast, along with the unusual kick-off time for the fixture...
When and where is Manchester United vs Fiorentina?
United's friendly with Fiorentina is scheduled to take place at Old Trafford, with more than 50,000 tickets already snapped up, reports the Mirror.

Darwin Nunez completes switch from Liverpool to Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal
The 26-year-old Uruguay striker has finalised the move for a fee understood to be an initial £46million. The Anfield club said: 'Liverpool FC can confirm Darwin Nunez has completed a permanent transfer to Al-Hilal, subject to international clearance. Liverpool FC can confirm Darwin Nunez has completed a permanent transfer to Al-Hilal, subject to international clearance. Everybody at the club would like to thank Darwin for his contributions and wish him and his family all the best for the future. — Liverpool FC (@LFC) August 9, 2025 'The Uruguayan's three-year spell with the Reds concludes after he finalised a switch to the Saudi Pro League side today. 'Everybody at the club would like to thank Darwin for his contributions and wish him and his family all the best for the future.' Nunez moved to Anfield in June 2022 from Benfica for an initial fee of £64m. He scored 40 goals in 143 appearances for the Reds, but started just eight Premier League matches during their title-winning season last term. Nunez was a target for another Saudi club, Al Nassr, in January, but a £60m bid was rejected as Liverpool did not want to sell in the middle of the season. However, his departure looked inevitable after a string of unconvincing displays, and takes Liverpool's income from sales this summer to almost £200m, with more likely to follow with £40m-plus-rated midfielder Harvey Elliott possibly on the move. It also opens up a space in their forward line, which has already been strengthened with the arrival of Hugo Ekitike as part of a near-£300m spend, and the number nine shirt. Liverpool retain an interest in Newcastle's Alexander Isak after having a £110m bid rejected last week. Magpies boss Eddie Howe confirmed on Friday that the wantaway Sweden striker is unlikely to feature in the opening game of the Premier League season at Aston Villa.

Tyrone Mings grabs Mason Greenwood by scruff of neck after flashpoint in friendly
Former Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood was involved in an angry exchange alongside Aston Villa's Tyrone Mings during the Premier League side's pre-season friendly with Marseille Mason Greenwood and Tyrone Mings angrily clashed in their pre-season meeting, with the ex- Manchester United man being grabbed by the neck. Greenwood's current side Marseille took on Aston Villa in a friendly on Saturday evening. But it ended up being an ill-tempered affair between the two sides. New signing Evann Guessand, Matty Cash, John McGinn, and Donyell Malen were all booked throughout the clash. Tensions then boiled over late on between Greenwood and a couple of Villa stars. The striker kicked out at Belgian midfielder Andre Onana after evading a number of challenges. That did not go down well with the former Everton man, who berated Greenwood, who then laughed in his face. Onana then pointed to his face as though the forward has spat at him, but it was unclear on whether he had actually done so. Defender Mings then got involved as he grappled with Greenwood and grabbed the striker by the scruff of his neck. Numerous players then piled in as the scenes turned ugly. Tempers soon calmed but Greenwood was left with a ripped shirt and was shortly taken off of the pitch by Roberto De Zerbi - who was spotted arguing with Unai Emery on the sidelines. Villa eventually fell to a 3-1 defeat to Marseille. Greenwood had scored in the first half, while Villa captain John McGinn also found the net. But two strikes from returning forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang secured victory for the French side. Villa round off their preparations for the new campaign on Sunday as they travel to Spain to take on Villarreal. How will Aston Villa do in the Premier League this season? Share your predictions in the comments below Emery's side commence their Premier League campaign against Newcastle in the Midlands in a week's time. Meanwhile, Marseille are back in action on Friday evening as they take on Rennes in their first Ligue 1 game of the season. Greenwood will be hoping to extend the hot form that he displayed last season. The former United forward struck 22 goals in all competitions last term. He has been at the heart of considerable transfer interest this summer. Barcelona have regularly been linked with him, while he also reportedly has admirers in Saudi Arabia. Greenwood has also made a major change when it comes to his international allegiances. Having previously earned one England cap, he is now set to represent Jamaica having been granted citizenship.

Benjamin Sesko insists Man United can 'fulfill all my ambitions' after £73.7m signing snubbed Newcastle - as Ruben Amorim drops major hint over Rasmus Hojlund future
Manchester United unveiled striker Benjamin Sesko on Friday and the new £73.7million signing from Red Bull Leipzig says he is convinced he can fulfil all his ambitions at the club. Sesko turned down Newcastle United to become the new figurehead for Ruben Amorim 's revamped attack. Sesko said: 'When we discussed the project, it was clear that everything is in place for this team to continue to grow and compete for the biggest trophies again soon.' United finished 15th in the Premier League last season, but that has not deterred Sesko as he signed a five year contract. 'From the moment that I arrived, I could feel the positive energy and family environment that the club has created. It is clearly the perfect place to reach my maximum level and fulfil all of my ambitions. 'The history of Manchester United is obviously very special but what really excites me is the future,' he added. Sesko was paraded at Old Trafford alongside United's other summer signings, Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha, and their arrival will trigger departures. Amorim gave a large hint to his intentions around striker Rasmus Hojlund by leaving the Dane on the bench for yesterday's laboured friendly win on penalties over Fiorentina and started Mason Mount through the middle. Afterwards Amorim admitted: 'At times we struggled without the reference as a striker... we have a new striker now.' United are prepared to sell Hojlund for £30m but AC Milan want to take him on a season long loan and have offered a £4m loan fee. United have also told Chelsea they want £50m for Alejandro Garnacho with the Argentine winger set on a move to Stamford Bridge. Jadon Sancho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia are poised to leave also while left-back Harry Amass is wanted on loan by Sheffield Wednesday. United remain in the market to add another midfielder and have made contact with Carlos Baleba's representatives but that has not endeared them to his club Brighton who have no desire to sell.
