PL manager finalising details with West Brom ahead of warm-up match – report
Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is finalising details with West Brom ahead of a warm-up game between the two clubs this season, according to the London Evening Standard.
West Brom drew 2-2 in a warm-up game against Aston Villa at Villa Park on Saturday and it seems the Baggies are keen to arrange another match to play in the coming days.
Albion will resume their Championship campaign on June 20 when they welcome Birmingham City to The Hawthorns but the next port of call for Slaven Bilic’s men could be Old Trafford.
Solskjaer is also said to be stepping up his preparations ahead of the restart and held an intra-squad friendly at the weekend.
The Standard reports that the Man United boss has a fully fit squad to choose from with Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford fit to play after long-term spells on the sidelines.
West Brom also have a clean bill of health among their main options but Nathan Ferguson and Jonathan Leko are still unlikely to play before the season ends.
It will be interesting to see how the Baggies do against a strong Premier League side like United but Albion regularly step it up against the Red Devils.
In their last visit to Old Trafford, West Brom won 1-0 with Darren Moore at the helm.
Even though it will be a friendly match, we hope to see a similar result this week.
