Manchester United v Atletico Madrid LIVE: Mbeumo’s second-half brace seals friendly win | OneFootball

Manchester United continued their pre-season tour of Scandinavia with a 2-1 comeback win over fellow European heavyweights Atletico Madrid in Stockholm.

Arnau Ortiz put Atletico in front in the opening five minutes as a fine cross got the better of defenders and keeper Tom Heaton alike, but United were the better side from then on and were rewarded for their perseverance in the second half.

Youngster Shea Lacey won a penalty as he was brought down in the box which Bryan Mbeumo coolly converted, before the Cameroon striker doubled his and United’s advantage as he turned home a deflected cross by Jack Fletcher.

The win kicks off a run of exciting friendlies for Michael Carrick’s side, who will also face Paris Saint-Germain, fierce rivals Leeds and AC Milan – with the likes of £35m summer signing Youri Tielemans and first-choice keeper Senne Lammens expected to return for those clashes – before their Premier League curtain-raiser at Hull City.
