Normally, both clubs are pretty active in the transfer market every season. While United have made a couple of big-name signings, the Spanish side are yet to pull off that Galactico signing. Nevertheless, the match promises to see close to 5 debutants from both sides.

Left-back Theo Hernandez and Spain's Under-21 European Championship star Dani Ceballos could play some part during the match. On the other hand, Romelu Lukaku is sure to lead the line for Jose Mourinho's side, after transferring for a whopping £90 million deal from Everton.

The former Chelsea player could be joined by another former Blues player in Nemanja Matic in midfield. Further, 22-year old centre-back Victor Lindelof, signed from Benfica, is assured to play, especially due to the suspensions for Phil Jones and Eric Bailly.

Thus, there are a number of debuts to look forward to during the course of the match.
