Manchester United began their pre-season tour of Australia on Friday with a 4-1 victory over Melbourne Victory.
After defeating Liverpool 4-0 earlier in the week, the Red Devils were dragged back down to earth in the fifth minute at the MCG when Victory’s Chris Ikonomidis opened the scoring.
United would go on to control possession but fail to create clear chances until the 43rd minute when Scott McTominay’s deflected shot looped over Victory goalkeeper Paul Izzo.
Just minutes later, Anthony Martial received another assist after the ball broke to him just metres from goal.
After the break, new Red Devils boss Erik ten Hag made ten changes, with Marcus Rashford leading the way with his third goal in the 78th minute.
Victory missed a couple chances to score a second goal and eventually conceded an own goal in the dying minutes after some nice play by Tahith Chong.
Victory for the Reds in Melbourne! 👏#MUFC || #MUTOUR22
