Preview:

The Red Devils are unbeaten on their tour of North America and will be looking to make it four wins on the bounce when they take on Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain tonight.

Out of United’s original tour party the only player not to be used is Sean Goss and it is not yet certain whether or not he will get any game time in Chicago. Since the tour started Mexico striker Javier Hernandez and new boy Sergio Romero have joined the group and have been training with the squad ahead of the PSG game.

Romero, who was signed from Sampdoria on a free transfer, has penned an original three year deal with the Old Trafford club and he looks like being a long-term replacement for David De Gea – if the Spaniard completes a summer move to Real Madrid.

Romero is pretty familiar with manager Louis Van Gaal following their time together at AZ Alkmaar and the Red Devils boss will be eager to get a decent look at his new signing ahead of their Premier League opener against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday, August 8.

Hernandez will most likely gain some much needed minutes against Paris and attempt to make a claim for a starting berth up front alongside Wayne Rooney ahead of the new season. Another player looking to impress is Germany’s World Cup winner Bastian Schweinsteiger who is still yet to wow Van Gaal.

Schweinsteiger has featured in the wins over Club America and San Jose Earthquakes, but Van Gaal wants more from him if he is going to be a key part of his midfield engine room.

Marouane Fellaini and Antonio Valencia will be hoping to feature once more after their first games of the tour in the 3-1 victory over Barcelona, while Adnan Januzaj hopes his late goal against the Champions League holders will help him gain a start against PSG.

PSG manager Laurent Blanc has revealed that Argentina internationals Javier Pastore and Ezequiel Lavezzi have teamed up with squad in America following their Copa America exploits but he says they are not ready for action yet.

Both Pastore and Lavezzi have picked up small calf problems and because they are only just catching up with the rest of the squad in terms of pre-season training, Blanc wants to keep them safe especially with their Super Cup meeting with Olympique Lyonnais in Montreal taking place on Saturday.
