DevilPage.pl – Manchester United – Manchester United – America's Club 1: 1. The first test of the Red Devils for a draw

When the American anthem is played before the Manchester United matches, and as the judge runs on the field in the adidas, it's time to start preparing the new season! It's been two months since the last Red Devils meeting, so footballers and fans alike have been happy that the gap between the seasons has finally ended

Temperatures in Glendale, Arizona, exceed 40 degrees Celsius. Fortunately, the air-conditioned Phoenix University Stadium was chosen for the wrestling arena. But after the first few minutes, it was obvious that the competitors would not be easy.

Jose Mourinho could only use players who had not participated in the World Championship during the first game of the pre-season tour. The Portuguese in the pre-match interview assured that he was putting in play the strongest composition because he wanted the players to start playing before the new season. Unofficial debut in the first team was scored by Lee Grant, and the chance of the first minutes that they had, among others Andreas Pereira and Demetri Mitchell. Jose decided to put 4-3-3.

Manchester United had a good start. Mitchell, who played on the left wing, played the role of a new pitcher in the absence of Romelu Lukaku

. In the 13th minute, Mitchell was good on the left side. After exchanging passes between Juan Matta and Andreas Pereira, Martial recovered the ball just in front of the penalty area. The Frenchman tried hard, but the ball flew slightly over the bar

A few moments later, the closest goal in the first half was Juan Mata. The Spaniard used the curtain of the Club America defenders, hit the left corner in the corner, but the ball bounced off the post and stayed on the ground

The longer the first game lasted, the less we watched under the Mexican goal. The concentration must have been kept by Lee Grant. The new Manchester United goalkeeper in the 27th minute made a good stop after Paul Aguilar screwed Scott McTominay into the ground and took a sharp corner

Five minutes later, Club America created a new opportunity. Luke Shaw made the mistake and gave the ball to his rivals. Roger Martínez entered the penalty area of ​​Manchester United, he gave a powerful shot, but directly into the English goalkeeper.

Just before the break, the free-kick Anthony Martial came out of the box, but it was not a good test. From the start of the second half, Jose Mourinho decided to make two changes: Joel Pereira replaced Lee Grant, and Timothy Fosu-Mensah took the place Antonio Valencii on the right side of the defense. At Club America we had five changes, and José Guillén appeared on the field, who had a T-shirt with an unusual number … 286.

At the 53rd minute, Martínez was about to reopen the result of the meeting. The Colombian striker lost the duel with Joel Pereira, who came out of the goal and shortened his corner. Mexicans gain the advantage and show up better than José Mourinho's team.

In the 59th minute, Club America takes the lead after a great action. Jesus Lopez crossed the ball from the left and Eric Bailly was busy with Henry Martín and beat Pereira with a nice shot to the head.

Shortly after, Luke Shaw was close to a draw, in a rather random situation. his right leg shot by centimeters passed Club America. The Manchester United game could not be loved. The Mourinho players were deeply withdrawn and abandoned their rivals. The young Tahith Chong appeared on the right wing, but at first it was difficult to move the Red Devils. The Mourinho players after Martial's descent also played without a goal scorer – Mat's role was taken by Mata.

In the 76th minute, Mason Greenwood appeared on the field, which changed Luke Shaw. The young midfielder made his unofficial debut in the Manchester United senior team at just 16 years old!

Two minutes later, Manchester United showed a good team and led to a draw. Chong played a big ball on the right. Herrera caught the cross, but the ball after his shot from the corner only rebounded from the post. After a while, an effective shot between goalkeeper Oscar Jiminez's legs was given by Juan Mata.

From the game of equalizer the game Red Devils looked better, because Jose Mourinho players have regained control of field events. However, we had no second goal.
