We're back under way in Perth.

ELEVEN changes for Manchester United at the interval.

Where does Manchester United's world tour go from here?

They're off to Singapore to play Inter Milan on Saturday before a trip to China to take on Tottenham.

They're also stopping off in Norway and Cardiff before the first Premier League game against Chelsea on 11 August.

West Ham have announced the arrival of prolific French striker Sebastian Haller, the club’s new record signing.

The 25-year-old joins the Hammers on a five-year deal with an option of a further 12 months for an undisclosed fee from German Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt.

The deal for Haller means the Hammers have broken their transfer record for a third time in a little over a year following the captures of Issa Diop and Felipe Anderson.

A German Cup winner with Eintracht in 2018, Haller becomes the Irons’ fourth summer signing.

It looks like wholesale changes for Manchester United in the second half.

They changed their entire 11 at the start of the second half in the first friendly against Perth Glory.

Like the Wolves' boss, West Ham manager Manuel Pellegrini has named a very strong starting XI.

Regular first-teamers Issa Diop, Felipe Anderson, Manuel Lanzini, Michail Antonio and Angelo Ogbonna are among the starters.

Former Manchester United midfielder Bryan Robson, speaking on MUTV: "That goal will be great for Mason Greenwood's confidence. He had a few chances in the last game of season against Cardiff and it didn't quite go for him so it's really good for him he got his goal."

Next up in the Olympic Sports Centre Stadium in Nanjing is Manchester City v West Ham.

The two Premier League sides are aiming to reach the Asia Cup final, where Wolves will be waiting.

West Ham's new signings Pablo Fornals, Fabian Balbuena and Arthur Masuaku miss out as they are still on a post-international duty break.

A happy pack.

Entertaining stuff in Perth considering it's a pre-season friendly.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is going to change his entire Manchester United side at the break.

The 11 replacements have just gone into the dressing room to get ready to come on.

Marcus Rashford, Paul Pogba, Mason Greenwood and Daniel James have done quite well.

Leeds only brought 16 players on this trip so they won't be making as many changes.
