In a pre-season friendly match against Rangers, Manchester United emerged victorious with a 2-0 scoreline to bounce back
Amad Diallo set the tone for United with a superb goal in the 39th minute.
United made significant changes at half-time, subbing out ten players for a fresh set of outfield players. While this altered the match's rhythm, Joe Hugill sealed the win with a powerful shot in the 70th minute, ensuring the team heads to their USA tour with a positive result.
Below are some of the talking points;
Ten Hag Discovers Potential Key Players
With speculation surrounding the potential departures of Casemiro and Antony, United might already have their replacements in the squad.
Diallo's exceptional performance on the right wing troubled Rangers' defense, showing his potential for the upcoming season.
Similarly, 20-year-old Toby Collyer made a strong case for inclusion in Ten Hag's plans. Collyer controlled the game's pace, distributing the ball effectively and demonstrating defensive prowess reminiscent of Casemiro's role.
Casemiro's Struggles Persist
Amidst rumors of a summer exit, Casemiro's performance against Rangers was less than convincing. The Brazilian made several clumsy tackles and struggled with his passing, failing to impress potential suitors with his display.
Sancho's Promising Return
Jadon Sancho's performance was a mix of determination and quality, although his creative attempts didn't always succeed, his willingness to take on defenders and deliver crosses provided positive signs for Ten Hag.
Yoro Impresses Early
New signing Yoro, who joined for £52 million, quickly justified his price tag. The 18-year-old displayed maturity and defensive qualities, making a crucial tackle to deny Cyriel Desserts a scoring opportunity in the first half.
