Zlatan Ibrahimovic is set make his first appearance for the club in his homeland following his arrival on a free transfer.
But German Bastian Schweinsteiger is omitted from the squad adding further doubt to his future.
Ibrahimovic only begun training with his new team-mates on Thursday after being given an extended holiday following Euro 2016.]
Other late arrivals - Matteo Darmian, Marouane Fellaini, Morgan Schneiderlin and Anthony Martial - also look set to play for the first time in pre-season after being left out of the tour to China.
No reason has been given for the absence of Schweinsteiger, who announced his retirement from international football today.
Chris Smalling is another notable omission for this weekend's match along with Timothy Fosu-Mensah, Andreas Pereira and Adnan Januzaj.
Man United squad: De Gea, Johnstone, Romero, Valencia, Darmian, Jones, Rojo, Bailly, Blind, Shaw, Herrera, Fellaini, Mkhitaryan, Young, Schneiderlin, Carrick, Mata, Lingard, Memphis, Ibrahimovic, Rooney, Martial, Rashford.
