Comments and predictions for MU vs Fiorentina: Holding the Red Devils to a draw

Latest MU vs Fiorentina squad information

Manchester United have received a positive signal as Andre Onana, Joshua Zirkzee and Noussair Mazraoui have all recovered and are ready to return to action. Centre-back Lisandro Martinez has also been training lightly after a knee injury but is still not fit enough to play. Meanwhile, Fiorentina have the services of veteran goalkeeper David De Gea - who will have the opportunity to face his former team MU - and notable new signings such as Edin Dzeko, Nicolo Fagioli and Simon Sohm, bringing depth and experience to the purple team.

Latest football commentary MU vs Fiorentina

MU is having a fairly stable pre-season under coach Ruben Amorim. Since the shocking 0-1 loss to the Southeast Asian All-Stars, the Red Devils have gone 5 consecutive matches unbeaten (3 wins, 2 draws), including a victory that was enough to help them win the Premier League Summer Series 2025. However, it should be noted that recent opponents such as Bournemouth, Everton or West Ham have not really been strong tests, and the clash with Fiorentina will be an opportunity to test the quality of the new squad - especially new players like Mbeumo or Cunha.

On the other side, Fiorentina are not far behind in terms of form. They have won 4/6 of their most recent matches and have just had a successful 2024/25 season when they finished 6th in Serie A - the team's best result since 2016. With the addition of veterans like De Gea and Dzeko, Fiorentina possess a blend of youth and experience. This will be an important support in the encounter with a MU that is in the process of rebuilding and has not had absolute stability.

In terms of playing style, both teams have shown a cautious approach to the match. Statistics show that 3/4 of MU's recent matches at Old Trafford have seen no goals in the first half, and the same scenario happened with Fiorentina. In addition, the last 4 matches of both teams have seen at least one side fail to score - showing the possibility of a tight match with few goals.

With current form, MU has home advantage, but Fiorentina has stability in terms of tactics and spirit after a good season. In the context that both sides want to avoid defeat in the preparation stage, a goalless draw is completely possible.
