Ac Milan - Juventus July 23, 2013

Stasera l’attesissimo Trofeo Tim che sarà conteso da Milan, Juventus e Sassuolo. Si parte subito molto forte: alle 20,30 comincia la diretta tv su Canale 5 e poi il big match Milan-Juventus. Le due squadre faranno a meno di molti loro campioni.

Massimiliano Allegri, ad esempio, dovrà rinunciare ad Abate, Balotelli, El Shaarawy e Saponara. In campo, tra gli altri, il neo acquisto Poli e il recuperato De Jong. Contro il Sassuolo ,invece, spazio a molti giocatori che difficilmente, nel corso della prossima stagione, saranno titolari: Zaccardo, Cristante, Petagna, Oduamadi, Traorè (nella foto Getty Images). Grande curiosità per i giovanissimi Cristante (centrocampista) e Petagna (attaccante), cresciuti nella Primavera.

Yokohama F-Marinos vs Manchester United July 23, 2013

Manchester United are currently passing their offseason time with a little tour of Asia and Australia.

This jet-set group is in the transition between the two continents, as it heads to Nissan Stadium in Yokohama, Japan, for a July 23 date against the Yokohama F-Marinos.

There is a good chance the Red Devils will be jet-lagged for this game. After all, if you'll notice the date from the club's tweet below, they aren't getting a lot of time off. 

I don't know if the Red Devils will be bringing their surfboards with them to Yokohama, but they better bring their cleats.

Check out the vitals for this match, and then I'll take a look at three players worth keeping an eye on during this friendly. 

Wayne can play up on his own, he can play dropped in. Overall my thought on Wayne is, if for any reason we had an injury to Robin van Persie, we'll need him," Moyes stated during United's pre-season tour of Asia and Australia."I want to be able to play the two of them, I want to use Danny Welbeck and Javier Hernandez as well. I want to give myself as many options as possible."
This had led to offers from English club Chelsea and its attempts to purchase the striker.

The other player dominating Manchester's agenda is Barcelona midfielder Cesc Fabregas. Moyes has repeatedly stated that he wants to improve the midfield and recently confirmed that the team has made a second offer to purchase Fabregas.

"As I understand it, Ed [Woodward, executive vice-chairman] had a response [to the first offer]," said Moyes. "We have made a second offer, but Ed is dealing with it rather than me.''

"When you are interested in good players, you want to give it every opportunity to materialize," he added. "I will hope things will continue to move forward. At this moment in time, I can only tell you that Ed Woodward is working hard to try and make the deals happen."

When: July 23 at 6:15 a.m. ET, 11:15 a.m. BST

Where: Nissan Stadium in Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan
