Should score. PSG self destruct at the back and the ball falls at the feet of Cesc Fabregas, he has all the space and time in the world but he still uses too much of both, delaying and delaying his shot and eventually seeing his shot blocked. Victor Moses rattles the loose ball wide.

New boy Memphis Depay is very much playing through the middle, behind Wayne Rooney. Perhaps they will exchange positions throughout.
We shall see.
The pitch looks a touch sandy as Barca win a free-kick in a good spot. No Lionel Messi of course...

Man Utd 0-0 Barcelona
Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu said yesterday he still viewed United as a threat.
This game will in no

Can United challenge in the Champions League this season? They are under way in CA.

Man Utd v Barcelona (21:00 BST)
It's all very friendly in the tunnel as David De Gea embraces several Spanish team-mates on the Barca side. Michael Carrick also has a friendly natter with former United defender Gerard Pique.
It's a massive stadium, very steep sides as a bit of Emerson, Lake & Palmer welcomes the sides to the field.
Here we go.

Evolve. Not revolve.
Man Utd v Barcelona
It's been a case of evolution, not revolution, for Louis van Gaal and Manchester United so far this summer.
Expensive new signings Matteo Darmian, Morgan Schneiderlin and Memphis Depay all get a run out tonight while fellow new boy Bastian Schweinsteiger has picked up an injury.
David De Gea is between the sticks and it sounds like he'll be there to stay now. Until next summer, anyway, when he'll be swapping Manchester for Madrid. Adios?
Gunners on fire
If you're of the belief that pre-season means nil, then look away now.
Earlier, Alex Iwobi scored his first goal for Arsenal as they continued their preparations for the new season with a 6-0 friendly win over Lyon.
The 19-year-old winger, who is the nephew of former Bolton forward Jay-Jay Okocha but is only so good that they named him once, capped an impressive first half with Arsenal's third goal.
Olivier Giroud, Aaron Ramsey and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain were also on target for the Gunners in the first half.
Mesut Ozil netted a fifth on the hour before Santi Cazorla's late strike.

Cesc Fabregas made a mess of the chance a few moments ago but back in the architect's chair he drafts a gem of a pass. Head up, floats the ball over the top, it is inch-perfect for Victor Moses to run on to and volley crisply home.

Should score. PSG self destruct at the back and the ball falls at the feet of Cesc Fabregas, he has all the space and time in the world but he still uses too much of both, delaying and delaying his shot and eventually seeing his shot blocked. Victor Moses rattles the loose ball wide.
Big chance!

Started in a competitive mood this one. Cesc Fabregas gets his Achilles raked by Blaise Matuidi before Victor Moses beats a man and puts it on a plate for Branislav Ivanovic. You expect him to bag there, but his touch is poor.

It doesn't look like we will ever see Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the Premier League now, shame that. The big man's first touch is shoddy though, shanking it out of play on the full.

A worry for both managers as Luis Suarez and Phil Jones go in for a challenge and the surface really cuts up under their feet. The sort of studs-stuck-in-the-pitch moment that can lead to a nasty knee injury. Thankfully, they are both OK.
Andres Iniesta then produces a rangefinder of a pass, 40 yards over the top right into the stride of Jordi Alba. The left-back can't summon it from the sky though. He's no Jerry Rice.

GOAL
Man Utd 1-0 Barcelona - Wayne Rooney
Rubbish defending. Rubbish from Adriano as he gets under the flight of Ashley Young's corner, Wayne Rooney doesn't have to jump to thump a header into the back of the net.
'GOOOOALLL FOR THE CAPTAIN! WAYYYYNNEE ROOONEEYY!' screams the announcer.

Ashley Young is having some joy down the left early doors and wins a corner...
GREAT SAVE!
Man Utd 0-0 Barcelona
A stereotypically optimistic outlook on display from the Californian crowd so far, all on their feet as Juan Mata picks the ball up 45 yards from goal. I imagine they laugh at the Wembley crowd at NFL games too.
But here's a chance again at the other end, David De Gea back in the role as one-man barrier to keep out a shot from Sergi Roberto. United's defence in tatters.

HITS THE WOODWORK
Man Utd 0-0 Barcelona
Brilliant! Luis Suarez bends the free-kick over the wall, David De Gea doesn't even move but the strike fires back off the inside of the post.
What a hit!

New boy Memphis Depay is very much playing through the middle, behind Wayne Rooney. Perhaps they will exchange positions throughout.
We shall see.
The pitch looks a touch sandy as Barca win a free-kick in a good spot. No Lionel Messi of course...

Ashley Young's first touch brings a huge roar in California. Bizarre. He feeds in a cross from the left and Wayne Rooney almost has a shooting chance.

KICK-OFF
Man Utd 0-0 Barcelona
Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu said yesterday he still viewed United as a threat.
This game will in no real way reveal whether or not they are but let's pretend that it may do eh?
Can United challenge in the Champions League this season? They are under way in CA.
Frat house rules
Man Utd v Barcelona (21:00 BST)
It's all very friendly in the tunnel as David De Gea embraces several Spanish team-mates on the Barca side. Michael Carrick also has a friendly natter with former United defender Gerard Pique.
It's a massive stadium, very steep sides as a bit of Emerson, Lake & Palmer welcomes the sides to the field.
Here we go.
You Bet!
Man Utd v Barcelona (21:00 BST)
I'll give you £1m* if you could score in that net past Champions League winning goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen.
*not a guarantee

Almost time for kick-off in California. It's very sunny - obviously.
Anyone ever been to Santa Clara? This is the new home of the San Francisco 49ers and the press box is eight storeys up.
I'd need new glasses to cover a game from up there.
Give me just a little more time...

Evolve. Not revolve.
Man Utd v Barcelona
It's been a case of evolution, not revolution, for Louis van Gaal and Manchester United so far this summer.
Expensive new signings Matteo Darmian, Morgan Schneiderlin and Memphis Depay all get a run out tonight while fellow new boy Bastian Schweinsteiger has picked up an injury.
David De Gea is between the sticks and it sounds like he'll be there to stay now. Until next summer, anyway, when he'll be swapping Manchester for Madrid. Adios?
Gunners on fire
If you're of the belief that pre-season means nil, then look away now.
Earlier, Alex Iwobi scored his first goal for Arsenal as they continued their preparations for the new season with a 6-0 friendly win over Lyon.
The 19-year-old winger, who is the nephew of former Bolton forward Jay-Jay Okocha but is only so good that they named him once, capped an impressive first half with Arsenal's third goal.
Olivier Giroud, Aaron Ramsey and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain were also on target for the Gunners in the first half.
Mesut Ozil netted a fifth on the hour before Santi Cazorla's late strike.
Coming up later
Chelsea v PSG (23:00 BST)
Later on tonight it's Premier League champions Chelsea's turn in front of the US cameras.
They were surprisingly handed a 4-2 friendly defeat by New York Red Bulls in the week and Jose Mourinho will not laugh off a repeat performance.
North Carolina is the venue for that one. State capital? Raleigh. Obviously.

A big test for Manchester United and, later on, Chelsea tonight then.
Or maybe not. Does form in pre-season matter? Do you zone out of friendlies, grow bored at constant speculation and only focus on the first real day of the season? If so, I doubt you're reading this...
