Erik ten Hag has hailed the performance of Manchester United's young players following a 1-1 draw with Athletic Club in Dublin. Man Utd earned a draw in their final pre-season Game of the summer at the Aviva Stadium on Sunday thanks to a late strike from youngster Facundo Pellistri. Pellistri was one of a number of young players who featured in the Game , with the likes of Daniel Gore, Omari Forson, Hannibal Mejbri, Joe Hugill and Noam Emeran all also getting minutes against Athletic Club. Speaking about the performance of said youngsters to MUTV , manager Ten Hag expressed his delight at the players taking their chance to impress in pre-season: “They deserve it [gamtime], otherwise we don’t line them up.

Man Utd 3-1 RC Lens: Player ratings as Red Devils come from behind in pre-season friendly

Image
On the day that Rasmus Hojlund was officially unveiled, Manchester United recovered from a halfway-line stunner to comfortably beat French side RC Lens 3-1 in a pre-season friendly at Old Trafford. The Red Devils put on a second-half show on Saturday in order to come from behind and see off Champions League opposition. Andre Onana arrived at Man Utd with a reputation for an adventurous approach to goalkeeping. The opening 20 minutes had already demonstrated his strengths, effortlessly pinging the ball around the Theatre of Dreams and stepping out of his box to intercept. But Florian Sotoca underscored the risk that also exists. Diogo Dalot shovelled a wayward pass behind Raphael Varane, into the stride of Lens' lone striker. Sotoca fired a first-time effort from the centre circle over a stranded Onana, sending the ball and Man Utd's keeper hurtling into the net. It was a freakish finish for any football match but proved particularly anomalous given the hosts' domination o...
