Manchester United vs Fiorentina Preview and Team News
Manchester United Team News
Manchester United head into this match on the back of their Premier League Summer Series win in the U.S. Ruben Amorim’s men have shown why they could become one of the most fearful sides in the upcoming Premier League season. However, a lot of work still needs to be done before they take on Arsenal in their opening game.
This summer, Amorim made a few exciting signings for United, with Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha being two of the biggest players to arrive.

The Portuguese manager, who took charge of the club midway through the 2024-25 season, has tried to impart his own philosophy on the squad. However, it’ll take time, and results may not be agreeable in the near future.
Still, the Red Devils have been unbeaten in their last five outings, with three wins and two draws. Amorim has a few injury concerns ahead of this meeting as goalkeeper Andre Onana has been sidelined with a hamstring injury, defender Lisandro Martinez is out with an ACL tear until October, and forward Joshua Zirkzee is doubtful due to a muscle injury he picked up in the U.S.
Manchester United predicted lineup vs Fiorentina (3-4-1-2): Bayindir; Shaw, de Ligt, Yoro; Dalot, Ugarte, Mainoo, Amad; Fernandes; Cunha, Mbeumo.
Fiorentina Team News
For Fiorentina, the mere challenge of meeting Manchester United at Old Trafford should be enough to drive them forward. With Christian Kouame being the only injured player, the Italian club will look to pressure ManU’s defense, as it’s well known that the hosts dislike losing possession in their own half and then scurrying back to reclaim it.
Manager Stefano Pioli, one of the most respected figures in soccer, has made some wily signings during this summer transfer window, including the additions of attacking midfielder Albert Gudmundsson and left-back Robin Gosens. Moreover, bringing former Manchester City attacker Edin Dzeko into the fold on a free transfer from Fenerbahce was a smart move by the Fiorentina hierarchy.

The Italian team like to play out from the back, focusing a lot on keeping a structure, which should put United to the test in this match. The fact that their passing involves a lot of interchange between positions is bound to irk their English opponents and eventually lead to an opening in the final third.
Fiorentina predicted lineup vs Manchester United (3-5-2): Martinelli; Viti, Kouadio, Mari; Parisi, Fazzini, Richardson, Bianco, Gosens; Dzeko, Beltran.
Manchester United vs Fiorentina Prediction
- Pick: Manchester United to win
- Odds: 1.78 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: Manchester United 3-0 Fiorentina
Manchester United are heavily favored to win this clash. The Red Devils have a far superior attacking unit that’s bound to torment the visiting side’s defenders. With Bruno Fernandes, Mbeumo, and Cunha likely to feature in tandem, it’ll be exciting to see how they interlink and dismantle the Fiorentina defensive unit.
For the guests, the biggest challenge will be to mark United’s wingbacks, who are known to bomb forward when they have the ball and then lurk back quickly to help their fellow defenders out in times of need. Under Amorim, MUFC have played an intensive brand of short-passing soccer that has often led them to create goalscoring opportunities.
Manchester United vs Fiorentina Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Total over two goals
- Odds: 3.96 (20Bet)
We expect to see a total of over two goals, with Man Utd likely providing most of them. Fiorentina’s unique 3-5-2 formation places a lot of importance on creating pivots in midfield, but United’s 3-4-1-2 lineup should be able to breeze past such challenges with a focused sideways passing routine.
We don’t think that Fiorentina will be able to challenge their opponents much in front of the goal. Dzeko, however, will be keen on refreshing his rivalry with the Red Devils from his time as a Manchester City player and will have something to say when he starts this game up front. Still, United’s quality across the pitch should see them score freely and control the outcome.
