Cadiz vs Man Utd: Team news, TV info & kick-off time for friendly fixture

Manchester United face their first game in 24 days when they take on La Liga outfit Cadiz on Wednesday.

The Red Devils begin their preparations for the second half of the 2022/23 campaign with a week-long training camp in Spain, with a double header of games against Cadiz and Real Betis, the second of which will be played on Saturday. Yet, with United having so many representatives at the World Cup, their team for the matches will look significantly different from the XI that last played against Fulham on 13 November. Ahead of the clash in Spain, we have all the major pre-match build-up…

How is the Man Utd squad shaping up?

Several senior players have travelled with United to Spain, including David de Gea, Victor Lindelof, Scott McTominay and Anthony Martial. But the likes of Maximillian Oyedele, Sam Murray and Joe Hugill, who have made the journey, will be less familiar to even the most ardent Red Devils supporters.

Jadon Sancho was one notable absentee when United announced their squad last week, with the club stating the winger is ‘continuing his individual training programme as part of a process to get back to his highest level’. Axel Tuanzebe is also undergoing rehabilitation from an injury and has remained at Carrington.

How is the Cadiz squad shaping up?

While 13 of Erik ten Hag’s current first-team squad have travelled to the World Cup, Cadiz have had just one representative in Qatar. Awer Mabil played in two of Australia’s games at the tournament, with the Socceroos eliminated by Argentina last weekend.

It means Cadiz should have an almost full-strength team when they play United on Wednesday, with ex-Premier League players Lucas Perez and Alvaro Negredo likely to be the most recognisable squad members to followers of English football.
