Manchester United vs Leeds United: 2 -0 for Manchester United

News by : (PRESSBEE) -

Manchester United opened the pre-season schedule in confident fashion on Wednesday, by defeating historic rivals Leeds United 2-0 in Oslo.

Erik ten Hag's first summer signing, Mason Mount, looked comfortable in the new no.7 shirt, instigating raids into the final third and going close to scoring before making way at half-time as the manager changed his entire XI for the second half at Ullevaal Stadion.

Ten Hag has opted for a mix of experience and youth in his starting line-up, as well as the first outing of Mason Mount as a Manchester United player. 

There's a youthful bench involved, too, though Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez, Jadon Sancho, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Tom Heaton are all featuring from the start. 

Centre-back Rhys Bennett also hit the woodwork during the closing seconds of a game in which Mount - signed from Chelsea for an initial fee of £55 million ($70m) a week ago - was a goal threat before Ten Hag changed his team to an entirely youthful lineup at halftime.

However, United ended up runners-up to rivals Manchester City in the FA Cup and the less said the better about their Europa League quarter-final exit to Sevilla.

On the other hand, the Whites returned to England's second-tier competition after spending three seasons in the top flight, with Leeds now under new head coach Daniel Farke.

The latter was involved in the two key goalscoring chances for both teams inside the opening 20 minutes. The Tunisia international was on the end of the first move to feature the incisive passing of Mount, who drilled the ball brilliantly out to Amad on the right flank. Hannibal connected with the resulting cross but his effort was blocked by Leeds goalkeeper Kristoffer Klaesson, playing in his native Norway. The same Reds midfielder later prevented Leeds from potentially going in front, when he produced a timely challenge to stop Luis Sinisterra completing a one-two with Ian Poveda. The latter looked odds on to score or at least give Tom Heaton a severe test between the posts had he received his fellow Colombian's pass, six yards out.
