Forecasting Manchester United vs. Fiorentina Prediction on the evening of August 9, 2025

Manchester United will face Fiorentina at Old Trafford on Saturday (August 9, 25) at 18:45 WIB will compete for the Snapdragon Cup trophy.

This showdown is emotional because it is David De Gea's return to the stage of his old club before him. The Fiorentine goalkeeper from Spain was a key figure in Manchester United's 12 seasons.

Both teams used this game as their last preparation before the new season. Victories will bring important morale boost to their respective teams. Manchester United are in good shape after winning the 2025 US Premier League summer series. They scored two wins and one draw in the tournament.

Ruben Amorin has obviously succeeded in building a more united and dynamic team than last year. The Red Devils have not lost in the four preseason games so far.

Good news comes, some key players such as Andre Onana, Joshua Zikze and Noosar Mazravi have returned from injury, while Benjamin Sesco's transfer is still waiting for confirmation of his debut.

Fiorentina arrives with solid funds

Fiorentina is looking forward to this league after playing a relatively stable preseason. They defeated Grosseto and Caralise, then lost to Leicester City, and finally tied with Nottingham Forest.

Laviola ranked sixth in Serie A last season, the best result in the past decade. The transfer activities this summer are also quite busy, bringing in Simon Som, Nicolo Faccioli, Edin Dzeko and Albert Goodmondson.

Stefano Pioli is expected to rotate the lineup to give new players a chance and test the formation before the Serie A opening match against Cagliari.

Manchester United vs. Fiorentina's final score prediction

De Gea's return to Old Trafford has become one of the main news. He once became a hero on the court and will be warmly welcomed by fans.

Manchester United may play in a formation close to the main lineup when they play against Arsenal in the league opening match. Bruno Fernandez and Mason Mount are ready to organize the offense, while Luke Shaw is responsible for defending the backline.

Backed by the support of their own fans and positive preseason performance, Manchester United deserves to be optimistic about winning the game, but may just win by a slight score.
