Monday’s friendly between Real Madrid and Manchester United left little cause for optimism for Jose Mourinho’s side, despite their narrow win.
The Red Devils overcame a very youthful Real Madrid side via a penalty shootout, yet Los Merengues are favourites to lift the UEFA Super Cup on August 8, currently priced at 1.40 euros off a 1 euro bet with the Premier League side at 1.75 euros.
An even more tempting offer is for Real to win inside 90 minutes, with Zidane’s team priced at 1.90 euros, and United at 3.95 euros.
In their friendly defeat on Monday, Zidane left out former Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo, and both he and Sergio Ramos are unlikely to play in the showcase match in Macedonia.
New signing Dani Ceballos and returning loan player Marcos Llorente were also both omitted from the friendly defeat.
In the 2016 Super Cup final, Zidane opted to play young players including Marco Asensio and Lucas Vazquez, and the coach could use that winning formula again versus United.
Just five days after the UEFA Super Cup final in Skopje, Real take on Barcelona in the first leg of the Supercopa de Espana.
