Match Report
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer started Daniel James and Tahith Chong for the friendly with both youngsters making a good impact in the 45 minutes they had on the pitch.
At the interval, the Norwegian boss fielded a completely new XI, bringing on Paul Pogba, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Marcus Rashford.
And it was Rashford that broke the deadlock 15 minutes into the second half after some good pressure allowed the striker to spin his man and bury a shot in the far corner to give United a deserved lead.
After coming on for Luke Shaw, James Garner then doubled United's lead with his second touch by scoring from outside the box to wrap up the win.

To be honest, I was impressed to some extent. 1. Daniel James has to work on his cut backs and composure. 2. Greenwood should have scored 3. 3. The guys were losing the ball a little to much but when they had it they were mostly indecisive. 4. Chong needs more playing time. 5. Dalot needs to calm down and keep his head up. 6. We had 30 shots and 7 were on target yet the game ended 2-0 with everyone from the first eleven present. At least it’s a positive start, now we know what to expect from the revolutionized Man. Utd Hope they work on everything mentioned above and against Leeds a much better performance is expected

Please bring Koulibaly and Chuewueze , two fantastic players, to compliment Man United. These are two fast ball playing guys. Man United need them whatever it may take.
