Scunthorpe will continue their pre-season preparations with a friendly against a Manchester United XI on Friday evening.

The Red Devils are likely to take a youthful squad to Glanford Park with the first team due to play Norway's Valerenga in Oslo on Sunday. Meanwhile, Iron striker Bobby Grant believes the League One side still have much to work on ahead of the start of the new season after Saturday's 1-0 friendly defeat of Halifax Town. "The manager will be the first to say that we did not move the ball as well as we could," he told the club's official website. "We took too many touches on the ball and we were a bit sloppy but overall if we keep improving all the way until the start of the season we will get there."
