Hello and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE text commentary of Manchester United's International Champions Cup friendly with Inter Milan. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is targeting a third consecutive victory in pre-season having guided his side to convincing victories over Perth Glory and Leeds. Inter present United's first test of the summer, however, and considering the temperature in Singapore exceeds 30 degrees today, it will be interesting how the Red Devils perform.

Inter are playing catch up fitness-wise. The Serie A season kicks off a couple of weeks after the Premier League commences.

United zip the ball around quickly, with Pogba creating space with a smart turn in midfield. Rashford then overcooks his cross and Inter have a goal-kick.

James can play on either flank but he's operating on the right tonight.

Huge cheers as United gain possession but it soon turns to groans as a pass is overplayed in midfield as Inter win a throw-in.

KICK-OFF! The match is finally underway. Inter get the ball rolling.

Things are running a little late but kick-off will be NEXT! It's Manchester United versus Inter Milan LIVE in Singapore!
12:25
The reporters with MUTV have been catching up with supporters gathering outside the ground. They all predicted a United victory and Pogba was the player they were most excited to see. Will the Frenchman still be a red by the time August comes?

The roof is closed on the National Stadium... we are almost set for kick-off in Singapore. I'm interested to see how young players like Tuanzebe and James perform in such unusual surroundings. It's well over 30 degrees here.
12:15
There are 15 minutes until kick-off. David De Gea is showing off his reflexes as the players warm up. After a below-par campaign last season it is hugely important for United that the Spaniard gets back to his best. He looks sharp at the moment. Perhaps the rest will have done him good.

Tonight's game at the National Stadium is a sell out. There are few Inter supporters, it seems, as red dominates the 55,000 seated arena.

Solskjaer has been speaking to the media... "It's pre-season, it's supposed to be hard work. It's supposed to be a mental test. I think it will be a great tactical and physical challenge for the players."

Solskjaer's team selection is interesting. Axel Tuanzebe has been given the nod in central defence, an indication that the 21-year-old could play more than a bit part this season. Seventeen-year-old Mason Greenwood was expected to start but Solskjaer has instead gone for the tried and tested Anthony Martial. Daniel James gets another opportunity to impress. David De Gea returns to nets, while Romelu Lukaku misses out through injury.
