Manchester United is undefeated thus far in their preseason tournament as they defend the 2014 International Champions Cup crown. Yes, it’s a “preseason championship” or “preseason title,” and you obviously know how oxymoronic that is. Or a misnomer at the very least. It’s only preseason, but it’s a lot better to win.
