United now travel to the USA for rest of pre-season fixtures
Manchester United picked up their first pre-season win of the summer as they beat Rangers 2-0 at Murrayfield. Leny Yoro and Jadon Sancho both started in a relatively strong lineup for the first-half. Summer signing Yoro was composed on the ball and sharp when called into action at the back, sliding in well with a last-ditch challenge early on as Rangers got in behind.
Sancho was fairly quiet on the left wing, with Amad Diallo on the opposite flank stealing the show with a brilliant performance. He was a constant threat on the right wing, setting up an early chance for Ethan Wheatley and the striker blazed over when he should have scored. Amad got his reward for his display before the break, cutting inside onto his left foot and whipping a superb finish into the bottom corner.
Erik ten Hag made ten changes at half-time, Andre Onana the only player to keep his place, and there was unsurprisingly a slower pace to the match. There was little in the way of clear-cut chances until Joe Hugill doubled the lead with a brilliant strike, the 20-year-old firing off the underside of the bar after being played in by Maxi Oyedele.

Man United have already brought in Joshua Zirkzee and Leny Yoro this summer, and Erik ten Hag is pleased with the quick work in the transfer window.
“This is very good,” the Dutchman says.
“We are on the front foot, very proactive. Leadership is doing a great job in this moment. That’s how we want to act. At United we are highly ambitious.
“The earlier you can get your players in, then you can work on your team.”

So Leny Yoro is up and running in a Man United shirt.
He played the first 45 minutes this afternoon, alongside Jonny Evans, and he was composed on the ball, with little defending to be done.

That’ll do at Murrayfield.
