United recorded another win
Matey Kovar
Brave to gamble from behind, but he didn’t have much to do. He was trusted to stay after the break. 6
Aaron Wan Bissaka
Lui made a crucial block to deprive Lyon of a huge goal-scoring opportunity, albeit a little sloppy with his passing. 6
Manchester United release statement after fine of £300,000 FFP
Raphael Varane
He wore the bracelet again and wasn’t really tested by the Lyon forwards. More minutes in the tank. 6
Erik ten Hag may have just hinted at new roles for two Manchester United players
Andre Onana arrives at Carrington for Manchester United medical services
Lisandro Martínez
Entering midfield very comfortable and calm and a glossy screen, as expected. 7
Alvaro Fernandez
Fernandez was caught out of position a few times, but overall it was a competent performance. 6
Kobbie Mainoo
He has reviewed the ball and clearly has confidence in it. Another promising performance. 8
Mount Massone
Hannibal
Clear again and looks more than capable of playing at senior level – could he be at Borussia Dortmund? 7
Anthony
He was wasteful at times last season and he should have scored within a minute. Otherwise clear. 6
Amad
He had two initial chances and was not even able to convert. Some good connecting games around the box. 6
Jadon Sancho
Performance improved after Leeds and he looked comfortable in the confined spaces with his quick feet. 6
substitutions…
Marco Giurado
Jurado played the pass to Gore, which then resulted in the game winner. 7
He could be part of the US tour team and seemed comfortable next to Evans. 6
Johnny Evans
Evans received a big round of applause as he warmed up. He communicated well and set a good example. 6
brandon williams
Didn’t have much to do and should go on loan. 6
Dan Gore
Gore played the cross towards goal and put in a decent performance. Another technically powerful academy product. 6
Donny van de Beek
Van de Beek had a great volley and won the match. He looked excited to score a goal. 8
Fred
He seemed to like to wear the bracelet and he wore the signature Fred style. 6
Isak Hansen-Aaroen
Passing to him was progressive and he tried to initiate attacks when he was in possession. 7
Omari Forsson
Forson was quiet down the right wing, often deflecting when trying to get the ball. 6
Joe Hughhill
Hugill didn’t have many opportunities to work with, but he pressed efficiently from the front. 6
Manager
Eric ten Hag
Lui made the wise decision to restart Hannibal and Mainoo, despite Fred and Van de Beek returning to the team. 7
Mount doesn’t stop running and his energy has already improved the midfield. He didn’t create much. 6
Hannibal
Clear again and looks more than capable of playing at senior level – could he be at Borussia Dortmund? 7
Anthony
Was an occasional waste last season and should have scored in a minute. Otherwise light 6
Amad
Had two first chances and couldn’t convert either. Some good connection games around the box. 6

Manchester United look forward to sign another new player as Andre Onana now a ‘Done Deal’
All the very latest Man Utd news, views and transfer updates from the Manchester Evening News.
Andre Onana arrived at Carrington to complete his medical yesterday and Manchester United look set to have their second major signing through the door imminently.
The 27-year-old flew to Manchester after a €55m fee was agreed with Inter Milan, with personal terms already discussed. United will hope to fly their new first-choice goalkeeper to the United States for pre-season as soon as possible.
Erik ten Hag’s current crop will be in the US shortly, as they flew out after yesterday’s 1-0 win over Lyon in Edinburgh. Donny van de Beek scored the only goal of the game as several youngsters impressed again.
After the result, Ten Hag named his 31-man squad for the tour, with Dean Henderson included despite uncertainty surrounding his future. The likes of Amad Diallo, Kobbie Mainoo and Hannibal Mejbri will continue to get their chance.
Elsewhere, Chelsea are said to be exploring a move for Harry Maguire after news that Wesley Fofana has undergone surgery on an ACL injury. The French international is expected to miss most of next season, leaving Mauricio Pochettino’s side short at the back.

The Italian side are likely to ask for considerably more than that, but the report suggests ‘Man Utd will look to get the ball rolling in negotiations with an offer in that ballpark.’
Atalanta have previously put a €70m (£60.7m) price tag on Hojlund. There is a belief, however, that a deal could be struck for around £50m.
Other reports suggest Hojlund is ‘pleading’ with the Atalanta hierarchy to let him join Man Utd this summer.
The youngster would receive a huge pay rise if he makes the switch to the Premier League. As noted by TEAMtalk, his salary could increase by a staggering 800%.
Hojlund has reportedly been offered an £80,000-per-week wage at Man Utd, while he currently earns £10,000-per-week at Atalanta. So it’s no surprise he’s agreed to the move.
To move things along, the striker has pleaded with Atalanta’s CEO Luca Percassi over his desire to join Man Utd.
In conversations with Percassi, he has made clear that he wants them to let him depart for Old Trafford. He hopes they will quickly find common ground over the fee.
Any deal is likely to come too late for Hojlund to meet his new teammates on their pre-season tour of the USA. If an arrangement was to be struck before the end of the month, though, he could still debut for United in their friendly against Lens on August 5.
With that in mind, it will be interesting to see how Atalanta responds to Man Utd’s opening bid. It seems inevitable that the Red Devils will have to increase their offer to get a deal done, though.
