Manchester United’s International Champions Cup encounter with Inter Milan in Singapore could be a little spicier than other pre-season fixtures. The Nerazzurri, now managed by former Chelsea coach Antonio Conte, have been eyeing a possible deal for Red Devils striker Romelu Lukaku. Both have made positive starts to the pre-season campaigns but who will come out on top? Bet on the game here.
