Manchester United kicked off the 2023 summer pre-season with a 2-0 victory over Leeds United in Oslo. The Red Devils had 22 players on Wednesday against former opponents, but with most of United’s senior players still not back for the new season, the first side was replaced at half-time by a younger side. But it was the young players who scored goals in Norway. Noam Emmeran and Joe Fugil scored goals in the second half.
United got off to a good start and dominated the ball early on. It took just 10 minutes for Eric ten Haag’s side to create a dangerous gap, with Hannibal’s close-range shot deflected by Christopher Cresson before Amado shot from the edge of the penalty area. rice field. In his first game for United, Mason Mount tried to knock down Jeremiah Mullen from 30 yards short of the goalkeeper, but the ball hit the roof of the goal and just missed.
Mullen blocked Omari Forson’s shot in the box in the 22nd minute and Alvaro Fernández headed a corner kick but didn’t actually touch the ball. Leeds barely scored in the first half, but Tom Heaton managed to deflect Sam Greenwood’s shot from just a few meters away. The first 45 minutes ended with a try from Amado and the Red Devils were far more dominant in the first half but were unable to find the net. As expected, Ten Haag made 11 substitutions at half-time, replacing all of the players sent off in the first half. Leeds had the first chance of the second half, but Pascal Strik’s header went wide. After a quiet start to the first half, the next notable chance came in the 66th minute when Emmeran broke the deadlock. The winger was played by Isak Hansen-Aloen, who calmly fired the ball past Leeds goalkeeper Dani van den Hubel.
For Leeds, Archie Gray shook the side netting from outside the box in the middle of the first half, and former United player Daniel James took two shots from the comeback. But when the next goal was scored United scored. Once again, Emmeran’s goal pass went to Hagill, who scored for the first time to double the Red Devils’ lead. Young stars ten Haag had a very good second half and nearly led 3-0 in stoppage time, but unfortunately Reese Bennett’s header bounced off the post. Here’s how we ranked United’s 22 players for the first game of pre-season…

1. Tom Heaton – 6 (45 none)
At one point he leaped out of his own net, cleared the ball and made a good save to stop Greenwood.
2. Aaron Wan-Bissaka – 6 (45 and Under)
He defended solidly and made some good tackles, but the right-back could not make much progress.
3. Rafael Varane – 7 (45 none)
It’s fresh to own and look at from the back.
4. Lisandro Martinez – 7
Like Varane, Martinez had good ball control.
5. Alvaro Fernandes – 6 (without 45)
He was a good long passer and had a strong bond with his teammates. The Spaniard also made progress on the left flank.
6. Coby Mainwoo – 7 (Under 45)
He handled tight spaces well and made good passes from behind. The teenager was impressed and didn’t want to look too closely next to the senior expert.
7. Mount Mason – 6 (of 45)
We had a strong start, but lost momentum in the first half. It was a reassuring first performance after signing the summer contract.
8. Amado – 7 out of 45
Despite his dangerous inside shots and good coordination with his teammates, his end product was often lacking.
9. Hannibal – 7 out of 45
One of United’s brightest players in the first half. Hannibal rummaged in the tackle and approached an early shot, but deflected it and got a good look at the ball.

10. Omari Forson – 5 (under 45)
We had some highlights, but we didn’t always choose the right path.
11. Jadon Sancho – 5 (Under 45)
He played as a centre-forward and ran dangerously at the back. But Sancho wasn’t always on the same page as his teammates, and he held the ball for too long.
12. Matei Kovar – 6 (45)
I did very little and didn’t even stop.
13. Marc Jurado – 7 (45)
They comfortably own the ball and rarely let it go.
14. Will Fish – 7 (for 45 people)
He was solid at the back and made some key tackles and blocks.
15. Reese Bennett – Age 8 (45)
They handled the ball well, but Leeds got very little out of this formidable defender.

He won the race with James and had good ball touches.
17. Daniel Gore – 5 (of 45)
He brought a lot of energy, but he gave the ball away on several occasions.
18. Charlie Savage – 6 (45 vs.)
He was a great passer and helped United retain the ball.
19. Noam Emmeran – 8 (45)
Most Valuable Player for the Red Devils in Oslo. Goals and assists impressed Ten Hag, but the winger repeatedly caused Leeds problems with his direct dribbling and habit of shooting inside with his left foot.

He passed well and handled the ball well. The Norwegian scored his first goal for United.
21. Shola Sholetil – 7 (Serves 45)
