Live updates and analysis as Man Utd face Melbourne Victory in their second pre-season match under Erik ten Hag.
Ten Hag is already quite animated and it has nothing to do with the possibility of speaking to the media. The A-League side are getting a lot of men behind the ball and they are competing for every loose ball. United had a fitness advantage against Liverpool on Tuesday, but this is a big night for Melbourne Victory and United are struggling with their intensity at the moment in a game they probably expected to cruis through. Maguire is starting as the right centre-back, which is insignificant in essence but playing him on the left side was somehow cited as an excuse for his error-strewn performances last season. That was a magnificent team goal, started by the goalkeeper. Melbourne look well organised and are lively on the counter whereas United’s forwards have not settled into a rhythm just yet. Maguire is getting cheered whenever he gets the ball. United are being noticeably more patient with the ball in the final third. Ten Hag is still stood in the technical area as he observes. Tyrell Malacia is on the bench. United’s 10 half-time subs are currently warming up and it looks like a front three of Chong, Amad and Rashford, so you would think there’s a good chance that means Rashford through the middle. Sancho looks the most likely to create something.

Club sources have confirmed discussions are progressing for United to sign the 24-year-old centre-back. Ronaldo also didn't travel with the rest of the squad for their pre-season tour and is now in Lisbon. History has a case of repeating itself, and United fans will hope it does soon. But for 90 minutes at least against Liverpool, the saga was forgotten and United provided a glimpse of what life after Ronaldo (part two) might look like.

1 hour 30 mins to KO: Manchester United providing an early glimpse of the stadium. Harry Maguire starts and reclaims the captain's armband. Fair chance a completely different team will start the second half. Victory conceded a league-low 25 goals from 26 games last season in the A-League Men. The Brazilian scored a stunning chip last time out against Liverpool but this one never looked destined for goal. 34th minute: Martial beats a number of players in the final third but eventually gets overwhelmed in the box. Frustration building for the Red Devils. Not using the width well enough early on. The resulting corner is claimed easily enough by Victory's keeper. Ten Hag won't be happy with that first-half showing though with his side often too slow in the final third and looking fragile when defending Victory's counter attacks. Marcus Rashford is now donning the captain's armband for the Red Devils. 43rd minute: Goal! McTominay pulls United level via a deflected effort.

It is thought that Barcelona's insistence that he leaves to join United comes following the agreement struck with the Premier League side, which is believed to be an offer the Spanish club does not want to lose. It is claimed president Joan Laporta and his staff are attempting to convince De Jong that a switch to the Red Devils would benefit his career and that their decision to sell him is related to their financial situation. Despite it being reported that the 25-year-old has no desire to leave the Blaugrana, it is understood the LaLiga side has informed De Jong that they would like him to accept United's offer.

Jadon Sancho seems to have a new role at Man Utd but what does this mean for Anthony Elanga?
But given that Elanga can also play on either wing and in the number nine position, it seems likely that he will still see a lot of minutes this campaign under Ten Hag in various roles. He is naturally right-footed and seeing how United also have Amad and Facundo Pellistri as right-wing options, he may act as a deputy to Rashford. We need to push everyone to a higher level."
Manchester United finally reached an agreement with Barcelona for De Jong on Thursday. That development came after the Red Devils had sent Richard Arnold and ...
The Red Devils have agreed a £63million fee with Barcelona for the 25-year-old, who is set to be sold as the La Liga giants look to balance their finances. So, with that being the case, Express Sport has decided to get a little creative… If De Jong does move to United, he’ll become the latest player to turn out for both the Red Devils and Barcelona. But United remain confident they can get a deal over the line and that the 25-year-old is open to a new challenge in Manchester. They can’t offer De Jong that same bait, either, with the Red Devils due to be strutting their stuff in the Europa League. That development came after the Red Devils had sent Richard Arnold and John Murtough out to Catalonia in order to broker a deal.

"Glory glory Man United" has been heard at full-time two games running now. Ten Hag is in no mood to wax lyrical about United's progress. Read the full story here.
MAN UTD have signed Christian Eriksen and are reportedly close to acquiring Ajax defender Lisandro Martinez.
I still have major ambitions in the game, there is a huge amount that I know I can achieve, and this is the perfect place to continue my journey.” “I have seen Erik’s work at Ajax and know the level of detail and preparation that he and his staff put into every day. There also remains doubt over the future of United forward Cristiano Ronaldo. Manchester United have told Christian Eriksen and Lisandro Martinez not to bother joining their pre-season tour of Australia despite still having two further matches scheduled in the country, according to reports. Eriksen said upon signing: “Manchester United is a special club, and I cannot wait to get started. He will become the club’s third capture after Eriksen and left-back Tyrell Malacia.

His finish for the third goal was unerring after showing a burst of pace to break through. A couple of sharp forward bursts but not as eye-catching as others in the attack. Liked to bustle forward with the ball and will surely feature again in pre-season as Ten Hag decides what to do with him. Showed his natural composure with an ice-cool clearance under pressure right in front of his own goal and he mopped up Bailly's mistakes on a couple of occasions. His development will be interesting to watch in the season ahead. Will hope to return to his regular left-back position before the end of pre-season. Basically assumed a wing-back role with Victory camped in their own penalty box more and more as their legs tired after he break. We witnessed a few of his trademark 'low percentage' passes that came off and he linked the play neatly as normal but hardly a vintage display. Looked a liability at the back as he twice surrendered possession in dangerous positions with loose touches or slack passing. Two long-range efforts went high and wide, with several team-mates barracking him for choosing to shoot with the first of them. Serious doubts remain and Ten Hag will be anxious to get a deal for Lisandro Martinez over the line soon. Unable to replicate his delightful chip in the Liverpool game but wasn't for the want of trying.

Fernandes certainly wasn't at his best last season and Eriksen has the quality to take advantage of him struggling for form. Although Bruno Fernandes has been an almost guaranteed starter during his time at the club, the arrival of Eriksen should ensure that he's now got genuine competition for his place. The 30-year-old averaged more ball recoveries, interceptions and fewer ball losses than Fernandes in the top flight last term.
Elsewhere, Real Madrid are hoping to sign Jude Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund next summer, Chelsea must convince Presnel Kimpembe to leave Paris Saint- ...
However, the Independent reveal that a “player exchange could be an option” and Adrien Rabiot could be involved in such a deal. Kimpembe joined PSG as a 10-year-old and made his debut back in 2014 at the age of 19. Bellingham may want to return to England and Liverpool seems like a good fit. Real Madrid know that adding Bellingham to a young midfield core of Federico Valverde, Eduardo Camavinga and Aurelien Tchouameni would set them up for the next 10 years. Liverpool are also interested in Bellingham are ready to go head-to-head with Real Madrid to secure his signature. The report states that De Jong is not refusing to leave Barcelona this summer, but “is firm in his refusal to go to Manchester United”. Barca are keen to sell the 25-year-old to raise transfer funds to sign Robert Lewandowski from Bayern Munich.
Manchester United made it two wins from two games on Tour 22, as Erik ten Hag's side came from behind to defeat Melbourne Victory by four goals to one.
Former Reds winger Nani was then introduced with just a few minutes to go, making his debut for the hosts seven years after his departure from Old Trafford. Fred's goal was the only difference when the two sides met at Old Trafford last December, and attention now turns to next week's pre-season showdown. Then, just moments before the break, the Reds went ahead. The scoring was then completed with just minutes remaining, when Edmond Lupancu diverted a Tahith Chong cross into his own net to make it 4-1, ensuring a second pre-season win for our new Dutch boss. With 15 minutes to go, United had a third, as Eric Bailly burst forward to feed Rashford. The England international nudged his effort beyond Izzo, and opened his Tour 22 account in the process. Zidane Iqbal showcased his talents with a superb piece of skill, as the Reds continued to dominate possession.

It’s something we have to deal with and we prepared well, we delivered well on the stuff we worked on. "It’s always nice to be on the pitch as we’re footballers and we love playing football. We conceded early on and it’s was important to get the two goals and settle the game. "It’s important to have competition like that in training because, if someone starts ahead of you in games, then it will motivate you to work even harder in training to try to take their position in a game. "It’s healthy competition," added the forward, who started on the wing. In the second half [after 10 substitutions], the second team did amazing and controlled the game.

Still, it shows we have plenty of options for rotation in the forward positions, with Erik commenting in his Thursday press conference that he feels Donny van de Beek could also occupy an attacking midfield – and perhaps even a false no.9 – role. The Ivorian stood out when fielded there in the Liverpool clash, as he set up Facundo Pellistri’s goal – our fourth of the game – but Marcus soon swapped with him, latching on to Eric Bailly's through ball to score our third. The signing of the 35-year-old former United winger has been headline news in Australia all week and even though he’d only travelled Down Under earlier this week and trained twice with his new team-mates, Nani – who stopped to grab a quick word with MUTV before kick-off – was named on the Victory bench. Eight of the 10 replacements had also played in Bangkok, but for Ethan Laird and Tahith Chong, it was a chance to get some minutes in the legs and time on the pitch for United after spending much of the recent time out on loan. For the second friendly in a row, Erik opted to change his entire outfield line-up at the break, with Rashford captaining a younger and more inexperienced side in the second half. The Reds were behind for much of the first half, following a shock early Victory opener, but a couple of goals before half-time from Scott McTominay and Anthony Martial put us in the driving seat.
Erik ten Hag's rebuild is beginning to pick up pace, with Christian Eriksen arriving on Friday.

MANCHESTER UNITED are hellbent on signing Frenkie de Jong from Barcelona in this summer's transfer window.
€85m is a large price, but at the same time it wasn’t so long ago that he was seen as one of the hottest prospects in European football. “Ten Hag needs to be able to get the players he wants. And whether United are able to bring in a midfielder, as the clock starts to tick, is something only time will tell. It will be fascinating to see if the Red Devils can get a deal over the line, with the saga starting to resemble the failed pursuit of Cesc Fabregas back in 2013. And De Jong has now dropped a hint he’ll be with his Barcelona team-mates for their upcoming pre-season tour of the United States. Manchester United agreed a fee with Barcelona for De Jong earlier in the week, with the Red Devils prepared to pay an initial £63million to land their No 1 target.

MANCHESTER UNITED boss Erik ten Hag would love to sign a right-back in this summer's transfer window.
Manchester United want to land a new right-back this summer. “Aarons is exactly the sort of player they need to be looking at this summer.” “They may not be straight starters immediately but they go and they stay there for 10 years and have a really good career and they impact the club at different levels.” Erik ten Hag is unconvinced by Aaron Wan-Bissaka, while Diogo Dalot continues to struggle for consistency. Manchester United are looking to sign a new right-back as they look to challenge for the biggest trophies under Ten Hag. But there’s nothing at present to suggest the Red Devils are in for the Netherlands international.
Erik ten Hag is a clever, clever football manager. He will be well aware of the glaring problem that has lost many Manchester United fans a lot of sleep ...
The Athletic’s playstyle wheel is a graphic that goes some way in explaining how a team plays. Once again taking a gander at Ten Hag’s signings, they are all players who know how to progress the ball. Players extremely comfortable in possession, ones ten Hag can trust to be comfortable in not losing the ball or knowing how to win it back. Minimise attacks and increase control in possession and dictate the tempo. Wrong. It does not look that way at all, United have spent the summer trying to obtain a very specific batch of players. Though the Scotsman is privy to get stuck in, similarly to his Brazilian counterpart he’s also shown glimpses that maybe being a box to box midfielder might suit him better.
With Lisandro Martinez set to become Erik ten Hag's second signing, we take a look at Manchester United's previous Eredivisie signings.
Blind was signed by Van Gaal on deadline day in the summer of 2014 from Ajax, and he proved to be a decent option given his ability to play at left-back, centre-back and in centre-midfield. After arriving from PSV in 1998, Stam won three consecutive Premier League titles and was a key part of the Manchester United side that won the Treble in his first season at the club. A former Ajax youth player, Fosu-Mensah joined Manchester United as a 16-year-old in 2014 and made his first-team breakthrough at the club under his compatriot Van Gaal in 2015-16. Park quickly established himself as a cult hero in Manchester and he was a nailed on starter for Fergie in the big games due to his selfless running and qualities with and without the ball. What a piece of business this was from Sir Alex. After catching United’s attention with his performances for PSV, the South Korean legend was brought to Old Trafford in 2005. After making his debut in the crushing 4-0 defeat to MK Dons in the League Cup under Louis van Gaal, the midfielder went on to make 75 appearances for the United first team.
MANCHESTER UNITED aren't abandoning their transfer pursuit of Barcelona midfield maestro Frenkie de Jong.
Yet while they’ve agreed a fee with their La Liga counterparts, it’s still unclear if the 25-year-old will make the move to Old Trafford. "I will return to say goodbye to all the workers after the tour with Barca. Christensen has chosen to leave Chelsea to join Barcelona, with the Denmark international arriving on a free transfer. De Jong has travelled with the rest of the Barcelona squad for their pre-season tour of the United States, despite the club’s desire to jettison him. Barcelona need to register a host of new players and selling De Jong, really, is the only way they’re able to do that due to their financial situation. They agreed a fee with Barcelona just a couple of days ago, with the fallen Premier League giants prepared to pay £63million in order to bring the Netherlands international to the club.
Frenkie de Jong remains a Barcelona player for now, with Manchester United desperate to sign him, and he could remain there if things don't hurry up soon.
The club are hoping to announce the signing of Lisandro Martinez in the coming days, having reportedly agreed a fee with Ajax for the centre back. Jules Kounde and Bernardo Silva have also been linked with the club, and all that comes despite Kessi and Christiansen not being able to register for the club in the league. De Jong is desperate to stay at the Nou Camp, despite his club seemingly being open to let the player go, with Chelsea also reportedly interested.
