Real Madrid team news

Dani Ceballos has been left out of the traveling squad as the midfielder is not expected to return before September following a thigh injury in training last week.

Impressed with Jude Bellingham's non-competitive club debut in the Milan win, Ancelotti is likely to bring Vinicius Jr in place of either Joselu or Brahim Diaz in a 4-4-2 arrangement that he's adopted ever since the departure of Karim Benzema.

Meanwhile, rotations can see the likes of Thibaut Courtois, Dani Carvajal, Antonio Rudiger, David Alaba and Luke Modric all start against United.
