Manchester United vs. Manchester City as it happened

United began their International Champions Cup campaign with a 2-0 victory over Manchester City in Houston on Thursday and will wrap-up their Stateside preseason preparations against Real and Barca.

Manchester United manager, Jose Mourinho is not losing sleep over the club’s transfer targets, as he claims that the club are looking at wrapping up deals for potential new signings. City’s second match of their tour is also against the Spanish side, in Los Angeles on Wedneday. This followed Lukaku’s victor in United’s 2-1 victory over Real Salt Lake.

“I’m not disappointed [at how my return to Madrid went]”.

As the game wore on, Guardiola’s men probed more though they were to end it behind due to Ederson’s mistakes.

However, Morata has spent a great deal of time throughout his career playing second fiddle to Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo, so it’s a slightly skewed comparison towards Lukaku, even though both are 24-years-old.

Over 109,000 crammed into the Michigan Stadium to watch United take on Madrid in August 2014, the largest crowd to watch a football match in the country, and despite the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo, another bumper attendance is expected.

This was in the 37th minute.

Hernandez is a proven scorer in the English Premier League, having bagged 59 goals during a four-year spell with United.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan roved towards the area and switched play right to Marcus Rashford. He is a guy that naturally the ball comes, rebound here, rebounds there, boom – goal. But sure. Let’s go with a relatively “injury-free” season being the reason Liverpool finished 7 points ahead of United. The Brazilian scooted back anxiously and just managed to tip it over the bar.

When asked if Lukaku could indeed make the difference in the title race at Old Trafford next term, Herrera, 27, proceeded to remain optimistic of his inclusion in United’s fold next season, whilst maintaining the notion that time will be the deciding factor.

“His development was very, very good, so we think we have a player that is now a top player in Europe”.

“We had to play well in the first half”. He is a good player and a good addition for Arsenal.

‘I am really delighted with the work that we are putting in. However, not much can be made out of the preseason fixtures where conditioning and fitness is more important than the results.
