Manchester United defeated Leeds 2-0 to begin their preseason in Norway.
Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez, Mason Mount, and Jadon Sancho were all starters for the Red Devils in their starting XI, which featured a mix of youth and experience.
At halftime, manager Erik ten Hag made a complete XI change, and rising stars Noam Emeran and Joe Hugill scored goals.
Both teams had firsts on the day as Daniel Farke managed Leeds for the first time and Mount made his professional debut.
Man Utd struggled to produce any clear-cut chances in the first half, so it was primarily a matter of getting minutes in the legs for Ten Hag’s team.
Prior to being taken off at halftime, Mount was active and had displayed some promising flicks and passes in the first half.
While Sancho struggled as a false nine, teenage midfielder Hannibal was the busiest of United’s players as he sought to impress Ten Hag playing in a No10 position.
The Red Devils in Oslo were ranked as follows.
Tom Heaton 6
was asked to do not much but was good enough when he had the ball at his feet.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka 6
A classic Wan-Bissaka performance, when he played solid defense but didn’t contribute anything offensively.
Raphael Varane 6
A Rolls-Royce of a defender, United appear more composed when he has the ball.
did well to link defense with offense while in control.
Lisandro Martinez 6
A very excellent recovery tackle was performed by him in the first half, and he appeared to be one of the more seasoned players on the field.
Alvaro Fernandez 6
Despite missing a chance to score with a header, the team displayed strong defense and ball control.
Kobbie Mainoo 7
I was impressed in a deep-lying midfield position; it might be one for United in the future.
He was referred to as a “Paul Pogba regen” by fans.
Mason Mount 7
Mount was keen to make a good impression and was noticeably taking every United set-piece.
With several good passes, he gave glimpses of what was to come, but nothing really materialized.
The new United No. 7 being surrounded by a more powerful team will be exciting to watch.
Hannibal Mejbri 7
Looks like an extremely tough player, and he did a great job of leading the press.
Hannibal appears motivated to impress Ten Hag this preseason, so United supporters may want to keep an eye on him.
Amad Diallo 6
looked the brightest of United’s first-half frontline and finished the season on fire with Sunderland.
But for the child, nothing really worked.
Jadon Sancho 6
Despite playing as a false nine out of position, he made the most of the situation.
However, it’s challenging to stand out in a rotating lineup with younger guys.
