Manchester United claimed their first win of pre-season with a 2-0 victory against Scottish Premiership side Rangers at Murrayfield, thanks to goals from Amad and Joe Hugill.
United were playing in the home of Scottish rugby for the second summer in a row with Rangers’ Ibrox home undergoing redevelopment and it proved a comfortable afternoon, with £58.9m new boy Leny Yoro the star attraction. The teenager produced a stylish first-half performance.
Amad was the star of the show in the first half, taking his goal superbly, while Mason Mount and Jadon Sancho also looked bright. Erik ten Hag had criticised his team’s performance in Norway on Monday night but he would have been pleased with the improvements on show here.
Got forward fairly well down the right and defended solidly, with Rangers often going down the other flank. 6
Leny Yoro
A very stylish introduction. Two impressive moments defensively and used the ball well, aside from one late giveaway in the first half. 7
Jonny Evans
Held Yoro to account for that mistake and again defended like the experienced leader he is. Solid. 7
Sam Murray
Used the ball well and built on the chance he got in Norway. Could make an impact at left-back with Shaw absent and Malacia working his way back. 7
Casemiro
Was robbed by Diomande creeping up on him early on and wasted one chance with an overhit pass to Wan-Bissaka, but did find his range late in the first half. 6
Toby Collyer
A new experience playing alongside Casemiro. Used the ball well and linked with Murray and Sancho without looking quite as good as Monday. 6
Mason Mount
Started off well in pre-season. Pressed aggressively and intelligently from a more advanced role, played a key part in the goal and looked sharp. 7
Amad
Dribbled with confidence and tormented Jefte, the Rangers left-back. Created an excellent chance for Wheatley and then took his goal superbly. 8
Jadon Sancho
A solid reintroduction to the fold. Played on the left, as he wants to do, and looked sharp and confident in possession. 7
Ethan Wheatley
Didn’t do a lot wrong with his big first-half chance but should still have scored. A physical presence and linked play well. 7
Subs
Habeeb Ogunneye
Comfortable afternoon, defended well as part of a unit and had little to do. 6
Will Fish
Back in a city he has spent the last two seasons in, as a result of loan spells at Hibs. Good on the ball and one solid bit of defending to snuff out an opportunity. 7
Rhys Bennett
Got a good understanding with Fish and won his aerial battles when they came. The youngsters handled 29-year-old Cyriel Dessers very comfortably. 7
Harry Amass
Better than Monday night but still tested defensively, with Sterling looking to overload down that flank. Did well going forward. 6
Maxi Oyedele
Solid at the base of midfield and created Hugill’s goal impressively. Turned well in midfield and then found the perfect pass to allow for the first-time shot. 7
Jack Fletcher
Clever movement when trying to receive the ball from Onana and looked to grow into the game. 7
Hannibal Mejbri
The most senior member of the second-half team. Had his moments, winning one free-kick with good footwork, without imposing himself on the contest. 6
Ethan Ennis
Attack never really clicked in the second half but worked hard and tried to offer an outlet. 6
Sam Mather
Didn’t really get in the game, with United’s attacks sporadic after the break and most of them coming through the middle. 6
Joe Hugill
Had to plough a lone furrow with little of the ball which made his sharp finish for the goal even more impressive. 7
