USA TOUR OFFICIAL MATCH THREAD - United vs San Jose Earthquakes - 2PM PST, 5PM EST. 10pm BST
Manchester United's Tour 2018, presented by Aon, is well under way and the second of five matches in the United States will pit the Reds against San Jose Earthquakes in sunny California. Setting the scene... Juan Mata's equalising goal on Thursday night earned his side a share of the spoils as United opened the tour by drawing 1-1 with Club America in Phoenix. Jose's Mourinho's men will now face San Jose Earthquakes in Santa Clara, California. The Quakes have only won twice in the MLS this season and are rooted to the bottom of the Western Conference table. A match against the Reds may provide the squad with some fresh impetus for the rest of the season. How can I watch? United's second tour match will kick off at 14:00 local time on Sunday afternoon (22:00 BST) and, like every pre-season game, it will be shown exclusively live on MUTV through Sky or Virgin Media in the UK and Ireland, and more widely in the MUTV app and online at MUTV.com. Who are San Jose Earthquakes? One of the founding members of the MLS in 1993, San Jose Earthquakes have won the MLS Cup in 2001 and 2003 as well as the MLS Supporters' Shield in 2005 and 2012. The club's history can be traced back to 1974, when the North American Soccer League (NASL) Earthquakes competed until the league was dissolved in 1988. The team currently play at the Avaya Stadium in Santa Clara and the 18,000-seater arena has been their current home since 2015. Where are we playing? The venue for our second match of the tour will be the 68,000-seater Levi's Stadium. Opened in 2014, the stadium is home to the NFL's San Fransisco 49ers and hosted the Superbowl back in 2016. United are no strangers here, with the Reds beating Real Madrid on penalties in last year's International Champions Cup. Sunday's opposition currently play one MLS game a season at the stadium. Predicted Manchester United line-up Man Utd XI:Grant; Valencia, Smalling, Bailly, Shaw; Herrera, The Scottish Player, Pereira; Martial, Sanchez, Mata |
