QPR vs MUN Dream11:
Manchester United play their second pre-season friendly against the Queens Park Rangers at the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium on Saturday. The Red Devils put up a decent show against Derby County in their first pre-season friendly against Derby County and managed to get a 2-1 win.
Ole Gunnar Solksjaer tested as many as 23 players against County ahead of the season as United miss out on several of their key players after the Euro 2020 and Copa America 2021. Tahith Chong and Facundo Pellistri found the net for Manchester United.
QPR come into the game with an impressive 2-1 win over Portsmouth a couple of weeks ago. Marco Ramkilde scored the first goal for Mark Warburton’s side before Olamide Shodipo’s spot-kick put QPR into the driver’s seat for the win.
The two sides will meet for the first time since January 2015 ahead of the Premier League and Championship season.

GK: Tom Heaton DEF: Alex Telles, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Robert Dickie MID: Albert Adomah, Juan Mata, Nemanja Matic, James Garner, Ilias Chair FOR: Charlie Austin, Mason Greenwood
Mason Greenwood: The Manchester United prodigy is the obvious captaincy choice in the absence of experienced names in the squad. Greenwood had a season of revelation when he scored 12 goals and made 6 assists.
Charlie Austin: The English striker has scored 7 goals and made 2 assists in the previous season and was one of the most prolific names in the QPR line-up.
Juan Mata: Mata is the midfield pivot for the Red Devils. With 3 assists and 3 goals, Mata can create scoring opportunities as well.
Clean sheet: Tom Heaton has had an exemplary previous season and will be keen to start the new season on a high. Manchester United are likely to keep a clean sheet against a rather lacklustre QPR strikeforce.
First to score: Manchester United are expected to open the scoring against a QPR side that are yet to face a challenge against a stronger side in the current pre-season.
While Manchester United are expected to prevail simply due to the difference in quality, QPR do have a chance to get a positive result as well.
