Manchester United vs AIK Stockholm August 6, 2013

The Red Devils breezed past Hong Kong side Kitchee with a 5-2 win in their last pre-season game with the likes of Jesse Lingard, Danny Welbeck, Adnan Januzaj and Wilfried Zaha all staking a claim for their involvement in new manager David Moyes' first-team plans for the upcoming season.

Wayne Rooney (shoulder) misses out on the friendly despite Moyes' claim earlier this summer that the England international would make a return to the first-team squad for the game.

United insist Rooney is not fit to play because he injured his shoulder in a behind-closed-doors friendly against Real Betis.


All of this comes after the club rejected a second offer from Chelsea for Rooney on Monday.

Nemanja Vidic does return for what will be his first pre-season appearance but the eye-catching duo of Lingard and Januzaj, who both netted in United's previous outing, have stayed at home.
