Manchester United beat Rangers to claim first win of pre-season

Erik ten Hag has a first team with a mix of young players, while new star defender Lenny Yoro is coming up. I played for the Red Devils for the first time since I joined a few days ago.

Amadou Diallo put the team ahead in the 39th minute by cutting into the opposition penalty area and then firing into the corner with his dominant left foot.

Ten Hag made 10 substitutions at the start of the second half, all young players. With only Andre Onana remaining before the Red Devils scored another goal in the 70th minute from the moment Maxi Oedile dribbled through the middle before stabbing Joe Hugill with full force, there was nothing left.

The next friendly will be between Manchester United and Arsenal in the United States. The match will take place on Sunday morning, July 28 at 7:00am Thai time.

Interesting points after the match

Lenny Yoro makes his debut for the Red Devils.
The 18-year-old defender will play for Manchester United for the first time since Gueye left for the Red Devils on July 18 for a total fee of €70 million.

He seems comfortable with the ball. Passing is accurate on both short and long balls. There is a nice long throw forward to his teammates. He has pace and defensive strength. There is the moment of insertion. He blocks shots from opponents

Although this is not an official match, it is just a warm-up match. But the general picture in this match during 45 minutes of play is good.

“It’s incredible. I’m happy with my work. The team made me feel relaxed and comfortable, it was very good for me, and we travel to America for the third friendly. The team will do its best to win,” Euro told MUTV.

Sancho’s return
The 24-year-old winger has lived up to his name and has been given the chance to play for Manchester United again after clearing his head with Erik ten Hag.

“Yes, as we said. We set limits because Manchester United need good players, serious players, a good player. We set limits and the manager of the Red Devils said the other day: ‘Then go further.’”

He played a total of 45 minutes, positioned on the left. He created one chance for his teammates to score and almost scored for the team in the first half. But unfortunately his shot went over the bar.

Ahmed stands out
The 22-year-old Ivorian winger makes his debut in the 2024 pre-season. He starts on the right wing. And he has done impressively.

He always cuts inside with style, embarrassing Rangers at home on several occasions before scoring to give the team a 1-0 lead at half-time.

“This has to be Amad Diallo’s year, we want to see a different Amad. He is no longer an inexperienced player. I trust him,” Ten Hag said after the match on MUTV.

Keep an eye on him this season, he should get more playing time, and of course Anthony is the guy who has done the most work.
