Manchester United will play a friendly match against LaLiga side Real Betis Balompie from Sevilla during this season’s 2022 FIFA World Cup winter break at the start of December.
The match will be the second of two games to be played in Spain during the mid-season break, and will kick off at 18.00 local time (17.00 GMT) on December 10 at the Estadio Benito Villamarin in Seville.
Following on from the team’s match against another local side, Cadiz CF on December 7, both games will form part of United’s winter training camp in Cadiz, as Erik ten Hag prepares his remaining players for the restart of the Premier League in late December.
Manchester United’s football director, John Murtough, comments, “We’re pleased to have lined up another match against high-quality local opposition during our stay in southern Spain. These matches will help ensure that our whole squad is prepared for the resumption of club football after the FIFA World Cup, as we look to maintain our positive momentum into the second half of the season.”
“The week-long training camp and matches against Cadiz CF and Real Betis Balompie will also provide an opportunity for some of our younger players to experience what it is like to train within a first-team environment, as well as play against two competitive La Liga sides.”
