this is how it looks like in the stadium

 Neither club has been perfect during the 2014 ICC so far, but as the tournament is little more than a collection of pre-season friendlies, the managers can hardly be blamed for that.

The summer of 2014 was one of turnover for both clubs, and Louis van Gaal's impact on the Red Devils has been very noticeable. The Dutchman wasted no time putting his stamp on the squad, and United already look much improved compared to last season, particularly on the defensive side.

Real Madrid have allowed their stars to return to the pitch at their own pace, and they won't look at how the tournament has played out as a reason for panic. Los Blancos are the reigning Champions League winners, after all.

 eal can no longer make the final of the tournament, while the Red Devils are in pole position for the win in Group A. A draw would do the trick, and with the Spanish side likely to keep their stars fresh for the upcoming Spanish Supercup, United will like their chances.

Cristiano Ronaldo joined his teammates in training this week but is yet to play a minute of meaningful action, and fans are understandably hoping he'll make his return to the pitch against former club United, per the Daily Mail's Rajvir Rai.

The Supercup will be a priority for Los Blancos, however, and given Ronaldo's struggles with injury during the latter stages of last season, fans shouldn't get their hopes up too much.
