Manchester United will try to follow-up on their decent opener in the 2015 International Champions Cup versus a hard-fighting San Jose Earthquakes at the Avaya Stadium in San Jose, California on Tuesday.
The Red Devils introduced the team's latest acquisitions in their opening match against Club América, namely defender Matteo Darmian, forward Memphis Depay, and midfielders Bastian Schweinsteiger and Morgan Schneiderlin, via Goal.
United showed some signs of chemistry issues as the new lineup only practiced a few times before this US tour, but that did not deter them in the defensive end to preserve the 1-0 victory.
One of the new recruits, France international Schneiderlin, scored the lone goal of the game to give the Premier League club three points in the overall standings.
The Old Trafford giants are the winners of this friendly tournament last year and they are looking to duplicate their feat this year with incoming matches against highly-touted Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain after facing the Quakes.
Meanwhile, Dominic Kinnear's squad are coming off a 1-2 defeat in the hands of the same América team that Louis van Gaal's men conquered, as per ESPN.
San Jose actually led 1-0 after defender Clarence Goodson headed a goal in the 23rd minute, but Las Águilas rallied past them in the second half, scoring consecutive goals in a span of seven minutes late in the game.
The prediction is a 2-1 win by United over the Quakes. Van Gaal's new troops will only blend well and get better as they play more matches together and this second friendly match in five days will surely benefit them.
Manchester United starting lineup (4-3-3 formation): De Gea; Darmian, Jones, Smalling, Shaw; Carrick, Schweinsteiger, Schneiderlin; Depay, Rooney, Mata
San Jose Earthquakes starting lineup (4-1-4-1 formation): Meredith; Wynne, Bernardez, Stewart, Francis; Koval; Barrera, Amarikwa, Pierazzi, Nyassi; Sherrod
