00:00:00Ben, at very least you would say that Manchester United are favourites.

00:00:03Yeah, they should be. Like I said, the result's not massively important,

00:00:06but what he will want to get out of it, Eric ten Haag,

00:00:09is a real good feel for the football.

00:00:12Obviously plenty of running as well,

00:00:13knowing how many substitutes that we've got to bring on,

00:00:16and he can change the entire side if he wanted to.

00:00:19But yeah, we've got to start getting minutes into the legs.

00:00:22I'd read the bench for you,

00:00:23but we'll be here until halftime if I start doing that.

00:00:25Just understand that there was sort of 26 players in the travelling squad,

00:00:29there's only 11 of them on the field.

00:00:30Everybody else is on the bench.

00:00:33So, it's going to be Rangers to get us underway.

00:00:36Manchester United still deep in conversation,

00:00:39Toby Collier being instructed by Jonny Evans.

00:00:43Countdown to kick-off, and we are away.

00:00:46So, Manchester United into their second pre-season tour game.

00:00:50It's Rangers in possession,

00:00:52Ethan Wheatley making an early nuisance of himself,

00:00:54and almost an error from Butland as he tries to clear the ball away.

00:00:58Mason Mount was sharp as he tried to get to it,

00:01:01but eventually Rangers can get a toe on the ball,

00:01:04and they can tidy things up.

00:01:07The free kick has been given against Jonny Evans, I think that is?

00:01:12Well, he had his shirt pulled.

00:01:13That was what annoyed Jonny Evans,

00:01:15is that you watch here now, he's got all of his shirt there,

00:01:18that's all you need to do to put somebody off the stride

00:01:23and to give you that little bit of an advantage.

00:01:25The referee never spotted it, and he did raise his arm.

00:01:28There wasn't an elbow, but he did raise his arm.

00:01:30However, he didn't see the first infringement.

00:01:33I think Casemiro is calling out the potential theatrics from Desus.

00:01:41Grins all round, but I mean, when you're having your shirt pulled,

00:01:44it's quite easy to fall off balance

00:01:45and an outstretched arm to get a little high.

00:01:49It's good work from Sam Murray.

00:01:50Closes down, knocks the ball out of play.

00:01:58Collier.

00:01:59Now, if you've not seen too much of Toby Collier,

00:02:01maybe you haven't seen too many academy games with us

00:02:03over the course of the last couple of seasons,

00:02:05he is combative, he loves a tackle, he's good on the ball,

00:02:09good range of passing.

00:02:11Good engine.

00:02:11Yeah, really good engine.

00:02:14It'll be interesting to see what he can do today

00:02:16alongside a world-class midfielder in Casemiro.

00:02:21Perhaps that was from Andre Onana.

00:02:25Murray.

00:02:26Tucked infield by Jadon Sancho.

00:02:30Collier, closed down quickly.

00:02:33Oh, an opportunity for Lawrence.

00:02:34Out it comes to the right-hand side and it's gone right.

00:02:38Eventually, free kick given on the edge of the penalty area

00:02:40as Lawrence is brought down.

00:02:43I think this referee must be from Bells Hill.

00:02:50He maybe was a little bit late.

00:02:55Maybe.

00:03:00So, early set piece for Manchester United to have to defend.

00:03:06Casemiro, vocal with that captain's armband on as well.

00:03:09Two decisions that have gone against Manchester United

00:03:12and he's been in conversation with the referee after both of them.

00:03:17You want to see?

00:03:22Eric Ten Hag watches on.

00:03:23Hit goalwards.

00:03:24It's going to be hit wide by Diamande.

00:03:27The new signing for Rangers.

00:03:29It's a bit of a waste.

00:03:31I think it's a really, really good crossing position,

00:03:34especially an in-swinger to whizz it straight across that six-yard box.

00:03:38But if you are going to attempt to try and deceive the goalkeeper,

00:03:41I think you need to make a little bit of a better effort than that.

00:03:43Yeah, Onana never really worried about that one

00:03:47as he clips this ball forward.

00:03:49It's well worked round the corner and Sam Murray

00:03:51take the ground to run into there.

00:03:54Gets the overlap from Jadon Sancho.

00:03:57The underlap, should I say.

00:03:58And popped out of play by Sterling.

00:04:06Even though most of the play has been down the other end,

00:04:08I know we're only three and a half minutes into the game,

00:04:10but United look bright.

00:04:14I agree.

00:04:15Murray.

00:04:17Casemiro.

00:04:18Yoro with his first touch of the ball.

00:04:22It's a positive one, too.

00:04:24It's what you need at the start of a game, isn't it?

00:04:26Especially with new club colours on,

00:04:29just making sure that only a few touches are exactly what they need to be.

00:04:38Murray finds Sancho.

00:04:39Infield to Casemiro.

00:04:42Two-touch football from Manchester United.

00:04:44Yeah, it's important.

00:04:45It's important.

00:04:46I think that was definitely something very obvious that was lacking on Monday night,

00:04:51was just a little bit of discomfort on the ball.

00:04:55And I think that if Manchester United can find a little bit of a rhythm with a passing,

00:04:59then the rest will start to ebb and flow.

00:05:04Yoro.

00:05:06Forward to Collier.

00:05:08Casemiro looking for that run of Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

00:05:11Well, it was a run that Wan-Bissaka was willing to make.

00:05:15Just a little bit optimistic, a bit too far in front of him.

00:05:18Yeah, it was covered by Jeff Day, wasn't it?

00:05:21I think if he'd have gone infield or he was caught upfield,

00:05:23then it would have been a much better pass.

00:05:30Jeff Day do signing for Rangers, come from Fluminese.

00:05:34Storied football club in South America.

00:05:37Andre Anana.

00:05:44Jonny Evans.

00:05:45Desus loses his footing.

00:05:49Well, it's been composed from Lenny Yoro.

00:05:53All eyes are going to be on him, obviously, in the early stages of this one.

00:05:59He's been solid to start with.

00:06:02Five minutes played and that's a loose touch from Rangers.

00:06:05Murray tidies things up.

00:06:08Yeah, it was quite promising as well.

00:06:12Desus miscontrols it.

00:06:17And Anana can't complete the pass that he was looking for.

00:06:28And Philippe Clement.

00:06:32Joined at autumn time last season, didn't he?

00:06:38Not a bad start to his life as a Rangers manager.

00:06:50Murray with the throwback.

00:06:52It comes to Jonny Evans.

00:06:54Again, it's good covering football.

00:06:56Everybody willing to make the run that needs to be made to keep possession.

00:07:00And Yoro brings it out from the back.

00:07:07Evans.

00:07:10Collier goes back to Andre Anana.

00:07:17Jonny Evans.

00:07:19Another year added to his stay at Manchester United.

00:07:24Already on 228 appearances for the football club over two spells.

00:07:30Chance to go through the middle here,

00:07:32but Murray comes back out to the left-hand side and Sancho.

00:07:35Short pass from the English wing-back.

00:07:39It comes to Murray, the full-back, and now Jonny Evans.

00:07:47Not heard a single Manchester United fan disagree with the decision to

00:07:52give Jonny Evans another 12 months.

00:07:54I think everybody very positive about that.

00:07:56That's a great ball over to Murray.

00:07:59And thoughts from Ben on that in a second,

00:08:01because Collier in a positive position.

00:08:03Casemiro.

00:08:05Floats one towards the back post, and Ahmad brings it down high on his chest.

00:08:10Flag stays down.

00:08:12Now he attacks the penalty area.

00:08:13Lovely stop-and-go.

00:08:14Ahmad looks to squeeze it across goal.

00:08:17Behind it goes, it's going to be a United corner.

00:08:19Well started, great vision from Lenny Yoro.

00:08:21It's a brilliant ball.

00:08:23Jadon Sancho had moved inside, which allowed Sam Murray to go.

00:08:28Now they see that run there that Jadon Sancho made.

00:08:31And that automatically gives the full-back a problem.

00:08:36It's a wonderful ball.

00:08:38And Ahmad on the touchline.

00:08:40He stays on, doesn't he?

00:08:41Yeah, he does stay on.

00:08:42But a new signing, Jethro, he just shows too much.

00:08:46Here's the corner.

00:08:47Casemiro with the header!

00:08:48It's just wide.

00:08:49Casemiro rising highest in the penalty area.

00:08:52We know how dangerous he is in both boxes, and it is only just wide.

00:08:56It was a difficult header, wasn't it?

00:08:58He was always moving away from it and trying to generate the power.

00:09:01Especially with Scott Wright jumping in front of him.

00:09:08He does want to give himself a yard of space, but I agree, he closed down quickly.

00:09:16We were talking about Jonny Evans and the extra year that he's been given, Ben,

00:09:19and it seems like a positive move all round and well-received by the fans too.

00:09:23Well, when we were again going back this time last year,

00:09:28Jonny Evans came, and I don't think he could ever envisage that he was going to play

00:09:32as often as he did last year, and not only that,

00:09:35but put in some man-of-the-match performances as well.

00:09:38He was brilliant, I think he's earned it.

00:09:41Purely on...

00:09:42There's no sentimentality there.

00:09:45I think it's purely on the fact that he played ever so well when he came in.

00:09:49Absolutely on merit, I agree.

00:09:52Jonny Evans was stalwart at times last season for Manchester United.

00:09:57Positive move again forward there, but Casemiro's pass just overhit Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

00:10:03Rangers coming in the opposite direction.

00:10:06Striding away goes Sterling, Collier brings him down, referee says free kick.

00:10:12It was a good tackle in the end, but he'd already had a bit of a grab at him, Toby Collier.

00:10:18Rangers on the move here, Dessas, and Yoro steps in with a fine right-footed tackle.

00:10:23Welcome to Manchester United, Lenny Yoro.

00:10:26No way passed for Dessas.

00:10:31He was moving, wasn't he, towards the ball, Andre Onana,

00:10:33but Lenny Yoro couldn't make up his mind whether Dessas was going to get a toe on it,

00:10:39so he got his on it first.

00:10:41Safety.

00:10:46He wasn't favourite either, was he?

00:10:47He wasn't.

00:10:48Down Dessas' side.

00:10:50Done really well to get a stabbed toe at that.

00:10:53Jeff Day with the corner, four Rangers.

00:10:57Left-footed delivery, curling inwards, headed away by Aaron Wan-Bissaka,

00:11:01who's marshalling that back post area.

00:11:05Whipped back in, headed away by Casemiro.

00:11:09So important for Manchester United, as I've said, in both penalty areas, Casemiro.

00:11:15Aerial presence from him, vitally important, as it's toed out of play.

00:11:23Rick ten Haag watching on.

00:11:33If you're just joining us and wondering why we're only 10 minutes into this game,

00:11:36we had a 15-minute delay to kick off due to late arrival of fans,

00:11:41or fans having difficulties getting through turnstiles, etc.

00:11:45So decided to delay kick-off until quarter past four,

00:11:48hence us only being 11 minutes in.

00:11:51You haven't missed too much, the only real Manchester United opportunity yet.

00:11:55Headed effort from Casemiro from the United corner, which went wide.

00:12:06Rangers just having to deal with this Manchester United press,

00:12:10Wheatley very used to doing that for United's under-18s last season,

00:12:14who were so good out of possession,

00:12:18the ability they had to keep that press high up the field, led by Ethan Wheatley.

00:12:25It was excellent, and it led them to an under-18s Premier League title.

00:12:30They won the play-off against Chelsea too,

00:12:32and they won an under-18s Premier League cup as well.

00:12:34It was an all-round excellent season for captain Finlay McAllister

00:12:39and the rest of the Manchester United under-18s.

00:12:43Sancho.

00:12:44Murray.

00:12:47There's just enough to prevent Sterling from coming to get that.

00:12:53Back it comes from Sancho to Jonny Evans.

00:12:57Joro.

00:13:01Moussaka finds Ahmad.

00:13:04And against his former side, of course, was a loan at Rangers.

00:13:09Not quite sure the loan at Rangers was as successful as his loaners at Sunderland.

00:13:16But I'm sure he'll be glad to be playing in this one.

00:13:25Joro.

00:13:34I don't really know, to be honest with you.

00:13:36There's not really much to write home by, I mean, apart from the tackle that

00:13:40he put in on Decez a few moments ago, there hasn't really been much go-mouth action.

00:13:46I think United have had a lion's share of the possession,

00:13:48which is something that's going to please Eric ten Haag,

00:13:51and I'm sure that's the way he wants to go forward.

00:13:55The referee's had a couple of decisions that...

00:14:00I'm not really agreed with, I don't really think there's much in that at all.

00:14:04I think he went to the ball twice, doesn't he?

00:14:06Toby Collier.

00:14:09Interesting.

00:14:10Free kick goes against him, and his face was as baffled as mine.

00:14:14Side flag goes up, and it will be a Manchester United free kick.

00:14:24Sterling chugging back to the right-back position.

00:14:28He's been involved, Collier, in the early stages of this one, Ben?

00:14:32I have to say that when he came on Monday night in Norway,

00:14:37as much as the second half was a little bit disappointing all round,

00:14:40apart from the performance of Radek Witek, who was outstanding for 90 minutes,

00:14:45Toby Collier did look the most lively of the players that did come on after 45 minutes.

00:14:52So I'm not surprised that he's managed to bag a start this evening.

00:14:57Lovely touch from Jadon Sancho.

00:14:59Escapes into the centre of midfield.

00:15:01Just maybe half a stride too late playing that ball,

00:15:05and it allows Rangers the opportunity to get stuck back in,

00:15:08but then a loss of footing from Cortes means that Aaron Wan-Bissaka

00:15:12can launch that safely out of play for a United throw.

00:15:17Taken quickly by Casemiro.

00:15:20Neat turn from Ahmad, and draws the foul too.

00:15:23Yeah, it was a decent turn.

00:15:25Low centre of gravity, it's difficult,

00:15:27especially when you've got two feet and can go either way.

00:15:33Zefdej just a little over-eager to get to the ball.

00:15:37Maybe another player in the Mason Mount, Jadon Sancho mould as well,

00:15:41that on his day can really offer Manchester United something different.

00:15:48It's a little loose from Sancho and it means that United are just on the back foot,

00:15:51Ever so slightly, Diamante plays the ball back to Barron.

00:15:58Barron out to the left-hand side to find Zefdej.

00:16:01Tackle from Ahmad is judged to be an unfair one, and a free kick goes Rangers away.

00:16:18I've never seen anybody slide tackle with two feet before.

00:16:22It's an interesting way of doing it.

00:16:25Those two are in a bit of a running battle at the minute,

00:16:27going free kick for free kick at the moment.

00:16:36Maybe he's just invented a new technique then.

00:16:38I'm not so sure it'll take off.

00:16:40Might be all the rage by mid-season.

00:16:42Just free kick, shot from distance, and he was just covering his bases there.

00:16:51I don't think it was troubling him too much,

00:16:53but we need to be absolutely certain as it goes rocketing over the bar.

00:16:56Yeah, I'm not so sure that'll be the major concern.

00:16:59I think what the concern is, is that nobody actually got out to stop the shot.

00:17:03Tom Lawrence was able to travel a good eight to ten yards with the ball at his feet

00:17:08before he found himself in a position where he wanted to let fly,

00:17:12and he was unchallenged when he did it.

00:17:15It's little small things like that that are going to be big

00:17:18when it comes to the start of the season.

00:17:21Good flick from Ethan Wheatley to find Ahmad into the penalty area.

00:17:25Chance here for Manchester United, brilliant pullback,

00:17:27and Wheatley almost opens Manchester United's pre-season account,

00:17:32instead, wider the mark.

00:17:34There's that something different when you talk about wing play,

00:17:37and Ahmad, we already saw him do it earlier when he won us our first corner,

00:17:42but this is really good.

00:17:45Commits the defender into making the challenge,

00:17:49and Ethan Wheatley will be really disappointed

00:17:51that he's not guided that more towards the far post.

00:17:54Brilliant defensive stop on the line in the end, wasn't it?

00:17:59Sancho, and he does try and get it back to Mason Mount.

00:18:03Fortuitously, gets another opportunity to get a ball into the penalty area here,

00:18:07Jadon Sancho gets past Dessas and delivers two.

00:18:11Brilliant tackle comes in, slides it away,

00:18:14Jonny Evans picks it up for United,

00:18:16and is shot to the ground by Cyril Dessas.

00:18:20Will be a free kick for Manchester United next to the corner flag.

00:18:24Yeah, another opportunity to maybe work

00:18:29something that they've probably worked on on the training ground.

00:18:33Or will it just be a straightforward ball

00:18:37into the box from Mason Mount?

00:18:40Plenty of ability from these positions, Mason Mount.

00:18:46Got some height to work with in the penalty area too.

00:18:56Referee just dealing with a little bit of pushing and shoving.

00:19:00You can sort of see the height of Joro as well,

00:19:05certainly somebody that they're going to have to watch out for.

00:19:07Scored a mass of goals last season,

00:19:09but they've managed a big one-up as that's palmed over the bar.

00:19:17Butland making absolutely certain.

00:19:23He's a rangy goalkeeper, Jack Butland,

00:19:24I'm not quite sure why he didn't catch that.

00:19:29Another set-piece for United, though.

00:19:34Clipped under the bar, punched away.

00:19:36Again, two fists do it from Jack Butland,

00:19:38but no attempt to make the catch.

00:19:41Aaron Wormaseker is not going to be troubled by that.

00:19:44Back it goes to Andre Anana.

00:19:48Anana has seen an option long in Mount.

00:19:52Mount's let that run across him,

00:19:53and then I think has his standing foot taken out from underneath him,

00:19:57but referee's not going to blow for the free kick.

00:20:0020 minutes gone, nearly, 0-0.

00:20:04There's nothing wrong with mixing it up, Andre Anana.

00:20:08I think it's important as well that the football that we play

00:20:15is imperative for the way Manchester United want to go forward,

00:20:18but there's nothing wrong every now and again

00:20:21with having runners going over the top and balls coming that way.

00:20:25Scott Wright that's down,

00:20:27I think there was a challenge for the ball

00:20:31and he's just come off on the wrong side of it.

00:20:36I'm not sure Salmeri made any contact

00:20:39with the back of Scott Wright's head there,

00:20:41but referee stops play,

00:20:43as you must do with these potential head injuries.

00:20:57ERIK TEN HAAG

00:21:00Instructions being given.

00:21:02Aaron Fletcher walks away from Ethan Wheatley.

00:21:06Erik Ten Haag deep in conversation with Mason Mount and Toby Collier.

00:21:14Discerning, he knows what he wants, Erik Ten Haag,

00:21:18giving very specific instructions to those players.

00:21:22Doesn't do generic, the manager.

00:21:26ERIK TEN HAAG

00:21:31Been a fairly positive 20 minutes for United,

00:21:34they've been bright without creating too many opportunities.

00:21:39No, but the one that they did create really should have resulted in a goal.

00:21:45Yes, you can argue it was a decent stop,

00:21:47but I think there was enough of the goal there for Ethan Wheatley

00:21:50to have given Manchester United the lead.

00:21:53The wing-play was brilliant from Ahmad,

00:21:55and he pulled the ball back into a super area.

00:22:01Manchester United will have more players available

00:22:04to take with them on the US tour.

00:22:08Talk about that in a second, as Ahmad's off on his travels again,

00:22:11gets brought down on the edge of the penalty area,

00:22:13and just as we were talking about great wing-play from Ahmad,

00:22:16he shows us another example.

00:22:18I mentioned earlier, when you've got two feet

00:22:21and you can go right foot, left foot,

00:22:23it's a nightmare for a defender.

00:22:25And Xhepta has seen both sides of Ahmad now.

00:22:30It's a bit of a torrid time, isn't it, Xhepta?

00:22:33In a minute.

00:22:35Ahmad is more than happy to run at him.

00:22:41So, yeah, another of Manchester United's new signings,

00:22:43Joshua Xherxey, will be available for the US tour.

00:22:46Rasmus Hoyland will be back after his exploits at the Euros.

00:22:51Gonna be a lot of players vying for those positions,

00:22:54and competition's a good thing.

00:22:56Of course it is.

00:22:58And you have to have a squad.

00:23:00I think Manchester United know more than anybody

00:23:03what it's like to have a depleted squad

00:23:04after the number of injuries we encountered last season.

00:23:08Unbelievable, really, wasn't it?

00:23:10And a towards goal!

00:23:11That's a great effort.

00:23:13Arrowed towards the top corner.

00:23:15And Ahmad again, just showing another facet of his abilities.

00:23:19Well, I must admit, from this angle,

00:23:23and through the keeper, Jack Butland, his despairing dive,

00:23:26I thought that was in.

00:23:29Yeah, Butland knew he wasn't getting to it,

00:23:31had it been on target.

00:23:35Right on the mark, but Ahmad just...

00:23:39just running through the repertoire at the minute.

00:23:44Well, it's great to see, because...

00:23:49it's a dying art, isn't it?

00:23:50Being a winger these days, being able to run at a full-back,

00:23:53there's nothing that a fan loves more than to see

00:23:57a winger going at a full-back and getting a crossing,

00:24:01or cutting inside and having a shot, or playing a one-two.

00:24:05You just don't see enough of it these days,

00:24:07and it's a proper art form.

00:24:11We've been spoiled rotten, haven't we,

00:24:13at this football club over the years?

00:24:15I was going to say, you used to watch me,

00:24:17so you know what I'm talking about.

00:24:21But no, it is, it is.

00:24:23The Premier League has seen some wonderful wingers

00:24:26over the years, but Manchester United have certainly had

00:24:29a good few of the best of them.

00:24:33Missed David Beckham, which we really shouldn't have done.

00:24:38Well, it's a bit of a shame, isn't it?

00:24:40It's a bit of a shame, isn't it?

00:24:41It's a bit of a shame, isn't it?

00:24:42Missed David Beckham, which we really shouldn't have done.

00:24:45No, it was a different type of winger.

00:24:48He wasn't somebody like Andrei Konchaltis and Ryan Giggs

00:24:51that was going to get the ball down

00:24:52and mesmerise a full-back.

00:24:55He didn't need to beat a full-back,

00:24:57cos he could just somehow miraculously bend it round them.

00:25:04Mamosaka tidying up.

00:25:06Andrei Anana restarts possession for Manchester United.

00:25:10Murray taking no chances, nods this down to Jonny Evans.

00:25:15A nutmeg from Sam Murray on Samuel Dessas.

00:25:20Gets it to Andrei Anana.

00:25:25And Wan-Bissaka avoids trouble.

00:25:29Reiss-Mount holds that ball up well.

00:25:31Jadon Sancho, who's now playing inside-right,

00:25:34is going to get on the end of this one.

00:25:35And he's driving towards the penalty area early,

00:25:37pulling towards Wheatley, and it needs dealing with in a hurry.

00:25:40Suter puts it over the bar.

00:25:41Yeah, that is already, in the football United have played

00:25:45in, what, 100-and-however-many-minutes it is,

00:25:50the best bit of football that they've played.

00:25:53It's really good, and it's a good way to go.

00:25:55And it's a bit of a shame, isn't it?

00:25:57It's a bit of a shame, isn't it?

00:25:58It's a bit of a shame, isn't it?

00:26:00It's really good, it was incisive, the passing was great,

00:26:04and they moved themselves up the field,

00:26:05and that is a perfect example, I reckon,

00:26:09of what Eric ten Haag wants to see going forward.

00:26:12I think you're right, as the corner comes in,

00:26:14bent away, Casemiro looking to get on the end of it,

00:26:17comes out to Murray, Sancho,

00:26:19lifts it back towards the back post,

00:26:21headed across goal by Ahmad and away by Rangers.

00:26:24All of a sudden Manchester United turn in the screen.

00:26:27Yeah, good ball to the back post, a little bit of an overload.

00:26:31I'm not quite sure what they're doing down the left-hand side,

00:26:33Rangers, but they're struggling.

00:26:41Short corner, Ahmad's back to Mount.

00:26:47Moves it on to Murray, Murray left-footed delivery, headed away.

00:26:51Mount collects and just keeps everything ticking over.

00:27:00Sancho wants to get in on the action,

00:27:02gets it down the left to Casemiro,

00:27:03Casemiro with the left-wing delivery, finds Ahmad.

00:27:10Ahmad just tries to deliver that in stride to Aaron Wan-Bissaka,

00:27:13but it's overrun, and a footrace between Collier and Cortes.

00:27:20Good covering, Toby Collier, really good.

00:27:23Misunderstanding between Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Ahmad, but...

00:27:31Good covering.

00:27:35Been a bright ten minutes or so for Manchester United,

00:27:37they'll be pleased with that.

00:27:44Praise from Eric ten Hag for Sam Murray.

00:27:48Yeah, he's looked very comfortable.

00:27:50Very comfortable.

00:27:52Yorrow's seen a little bit of space to dive into,

00:27:55and he's gobbled it up too.

00:27:58Stays forward, Lenny Yorrow,

00:28:00trying to stay involved in this attack,

00:28:01decides that retreating is the way to go.

00:28:09In a positive first 27 minutes in a Manchester United shirt for Yorrow.

00:28:20Casemiro.

00:28:26Jonny Evans.

00:28:29Yorrow again, and again there's a little bit of space for him to run into.

00:28:35Wan-Bissaka, Collier, back to Wan-Bissaka, it's a lovely ball,

00:28:39Wan-Bissaka tries to get the cross in, he was falling as he made connection,

00:28:43and United get a bit of a fortuitous corner.

00:28:47It's so difficult, when you play the ball like that and then you move at pace,

00:28:51it's so difficult for defenders,

00:28:53and again, another real bright bit of football that will please the manager.

00:29:00Even if you don't get the ball, you're dragging players into positions

00:29:03they don't want to be in, but he did on that occasion,

00:29:06it was a good one too between him and Toby Collier.

00:29:08Lovely way on the pass from the Manchester United midfielder,

00:29:11here comes the delivery.

00:29:13Loose on the edge of the box, Sancho collects.

00:29:17Switches play to Mason Mount.

00:29:21Mount goes early, deep one towards Sancho, he's going to pick this up again.

00:29:26A little bit too much on that from Mason Mount, but United keep possession.

00:29:33It's a little bit late on Jadon Sancho, the referee is going to bring it back.

00:29:37Yeah, he's right, you could see him, he was up in an hour in,

00:29:40he was caught after the ball had gone, Jadon Sancho decided there's no advantage,

00:29:44the referee in a decent position.

00:29:49Is Amad going to try it from this side?

00:29:53He might be fighting Mason Mount and Jadon Sancho from this side,

00:29:57we will wait and see.

00:30:02Sancho has decided to leave it be, Mason Mount collects the ball

00:30:06and it will be United number seven.

00:30:10Butland directing his wall.

00:30:15Just coming up to half an hour played, nil-nil,

00:30:17but Manchester United in the ascendancy in the last ten minutes or so

00:30:20as this has floated in towards the back post.

00:30:23He was lurking.

00:30:26Get there, Butland bowls it out, Collier again reading it brilliantly

00:30:30and covering fantastically.

00:30:31Very impressive, very impressive.

00:30:34I mean, for the last ten minutes or so,

00:30:36I'm surprised at Jack Butland there, throwing it out quickly.

00:30:42But really good from Toby Collier.

00:30:47Collier sort of doing that sweeping roll in front of the back four

00:30:51has allowed Casemiro to push a little higher up the field, hasn't it?

00:30:54And his creativity in those areas is impressive.

00:30:58He's got a lot of talent, he's got a lot of skill,

00:31:00he's got a lot of confidence in his players.

00:31:03And his creativity in those areas is important for Manchester United.

00:31:07Yeah.

00:31:13Llanosaka keeps it in play, but directly back to Cortes.

00:31:20The force of the Manchester United midfield goes into that challenge.

00:31:24Off goes Ethan Wheatley, trying to keep the pressure on.

00:31:28Done well again there, Wheatley,

00:31:30because he started to press and realised he had nobody with him,

00:31:32and just sort of drops off ten yards.

00:31:34Here he goes again, boundless energy from the United number nine.

00:31:44Making life very tricky for Rangers at the moment.

00:31:49Wright gets the ball across,

00:31:51Desa's turn, shoots, directly at Andre Anan.

00:31:54Good ball from Scott Wright.

00:31:57He took it out of the air really well, route one stuff,

00:32:00but it worked, really good touch.

00:32:03And before Sam Murray and Jonny Evans could even set themselves,

00:32:08he's whizzed that ball to where the gap was, and it reaches Desa's.

00:32:15No real power on the shot.

00:32:19Lenny Oro, again, in the thick of the action.

00:32:22Be helpful for him that, you know, he's from the southwest of Paris,

00:32:28speaks French, obviously,

00:32:30and he's got a goalkeeper behind him that can speak his language too,

00:32:32that would be very helpful.

00:32:37Sort of instrumental in that communication across the United back five.

00:32:45Might even act as a translator for Jonny Evans.

00:32:51Sancho, Mason Mount.

00:32:56Lovely from Mason Mount to find Sancho,

00:32:58Sancho with some space, stands it up,

00:33:00and that was lining that up from a distance away,

00:33:04it just never came off.

00:33:07Lovely little reverse pass, wasn't it, from Mason Mount.

00:33:14Kept in by Rangers, another United throw.

00:33:17It was another perfectly weighted inside-out ball from Manchester United,

00:33:23this time from Mason Mount.

00:33:34Reigns' trust at Manchester United.

00:33:37Darren Fletcher, Manny Harke, manager Eric Ten Haag,

00:33:41just out of camera shot, Ruud van Nistelrooy.

00:33:45That's a nice ball through,

00:33:47and now Manchester United have got some work to do.

00:33:48Taken on early by Wright,

00:33:51but never enough power on that to really trouble Andre Lanne.

00:33:56It was a decent position though, wasn't it?

00:33:58He broke away, and he was always getting there,

00:34:02he just hit it into the ground.

00:34:07Maybe a smidge high that Manchester United back four.

00:34:11Just a very good ball from Rangers.

00:34:12It was a good ball.

00:34:14Yeah, it was a good ball, and maybe from the angle that he found himself at,

00:34:17he might have been better starting it off outside the near post,

00:34:21rather than trying to go across Andre Hernandez, which he was expecting.

00:34:25Could have bent it inside that near post, but his contact was poor.

00:34:33Collier to Yorou, Yorou wants the run, looking for Ahmad.

00:34:39Quite enjoyed that confidence from Manchester United's new signing.

00:34:44Telling the wingers that he wants a target out on that right-hand side.

00:34:50Casemiro.

00:34:52Sancho.

00:34:54Re-arriving.

00:34:59Casemiro.

00:35:01Has a go, flip wide.

00:35:03It was Ben Davies' header that carries that wide of the mark.

00:35:06Yeah, opened up for him.

00:35:15Manchester United have a corner.

00:35:17I think it would have been pretty much straight at Jack Butland, had it not

00:35:21taken the deflection from the header.

00:35:22Yeah.

00:35:24He went to Curlick, didn't he, rather than going for sheer power from there.

00:35:31Another corner, though.

00:35:32Plenty of those in this half.

00:35:37Mason Mount pulls it low, edge of the penalty area.

00:35:40Sam Murray's effort deflects off Dessas.

00:35:44And Rangers now trying to come in the opposite direction.

00:35:46Cortes.

00:35:48Has a chance through the middle, if he can pick the pass.

00:35:50Just delayed too long.

00:35:52Just waited too long.

00:35:54Given away, though, again on the edge of the penalty area.

00:35:56Casemiro steps in, Wheatley looks it away.

00:36:01Barham slides in and loses out.

00:36:03Now Manchester United looking to...

00:36:07It's a little naughty from Cyril Dessas.

00:36:10A little unnecessary, too.

00:36:13As he drags Mason Mount to the ground.

00:36:15Yeah.

00:36:17I mean, it's a yellow card, isn't it?

00:36:19All day long.

00:36:20I mean, not that we want to see cards giving out.

00:36:22But I think he obviously realises that it would have been a very obvious yellow card.

00:36:28Things that happen in league games and cup games when your season's underway.

00:36:34They don't tend to happen in friendlies.

00:36:35But knowing we won't be able to get away with that.

00:36:40Not showing a card, because it's a friendly, more than likely.

00:36:46There was a few non-friendly challenges in the game on Monday night, I can tell you.

00:36:49Wasn't there just?

00:36:51Wasn't there just?

00:36:56The pitch sort of playing its part in that.

00:36:57Oh, it's gone to nobody in particular.

00:36:59A couple of people not quite with it.

00:37:02Dessas through the middle.

00:37:03Yoro again, what a block that is.

00:37:04Shot comes in, straight at Andre Anana.

00:37:07Well, Manchester United sort of made their own problem.

00:37:10But they did a decent job of recovering and preventing that turning into a goal.

00:37:17Well, there'll be a lot of things that I would imagine that Eric ten Hag is very pleased with

00:37:20in these opening, what, 35, 36 minutes.

00:37:23But that was really, really lax.

00:37:26I think Lenny Yoro was expecting Jonny Evans just to move on to this.

00:37:31And I think Jonny Evans thought the ball was more for Toby Collier.

00:37:34And then neither of them went for it.

00:37:36Fortunately, the Frenchman got back and made a good challenge or a good block.

00:37:42And then Anana was down.

00:37:45Just that little bit of lapse of concentration and communication

00:37:51is something that United will want to eradicate straight away,

00:37:54or the manager will straight away.

00:37:56You remember, again, going back to this time last year,

00:37:58Andre Anana's first goal at Old Trafford that he conceded.

00:38:02And there was a bit of a mix-up in the centre of the park.

00:38:05And he was lobbed from 50 yards.

00:38:08And that was welcome.

00:38:12It was all because of a lack of communication.

00:38:14And it can sometimes happen.

00:38:18New team-mate not necessarily understanding the movement of said team-mate.

00:38:23And occasionally, it can end up in those slight miscommunications.

00:38:31I mean, personally, I didn't think there was an issue with the ball that Lenny Yoro played.

00:38:34It was perfect for Jonny Evans to come and run onto it, but...

00:38:41Jonny obviously thinking that Toby Collier was retreating.

00:38:44Yeah.

00:38:47A mix-up.

00:38:50Seven minutes to go until we get to the break.

00:38:520-0.

00:38:52In case you're wondering why we're not already at half-time.

00:38:55We started 15 minutes late due to late arrival of fans.

00:38:59And it's behind the play.

00:39:02A bit of a mix-up there between Deses and Cortes.

00:39:06Mason Mount is going to try and take advantage.

00:39:10Hamad.

00:39:11Opens up for Hamad, have a go!

00:39:13Opens a scoring for Manchester United.

00:39:15Opens their tally for pre-season.

00:39:18Rangers 0-1.

00:39:19Yeah, and I'm not surprised that it's probably come from him.

00:39:23Because he has definitely looked really lively out on that right-hand side.

00:39:26He's gone outside, he's gone inside, he's caused Jeff Dait, the new signing,

00:39:31a whole host of problems.

00:39:34And a little bit like the Kyle Saka goal for England in the Euros.

00:39:40Just steps inside and whips a brilliant ball into the far corner.

00:39:48And this is something that I'd just love to see.

00:39:51And don't get me wrong, it isn't brilliant defending.

00:39:54But it's just that run there that takes him away from Mason Mount,

00:40:00and he's able to step inside on his left foot.

00:40:03I think Jeff Dait just loses a footing here, yeah, as he goes to try and catch him,

00:40:07at which point there's nobody getting anywhere near Hamad.

00:40:11No, it's all about the quality of the finish, and it was perfect.

00:40:14His fleet of foot is the Ivorian.

00:40:20No ball that he deserved for the showing he's put in in this first half.

00:40:24I would agree.

00:40:25I think the scoreboard now probably is a little more reflective of...

00:40:31...the 40 minutes or so that we've seen.

00:40:34It looked like that was out of play to me as well.

00:40:35It did, yeah.

00:40:36No, I can see your baffled face,

00:40:40and I just wanted you to know that mine was equally confused.

00:40:43Okay.

00:40:48I think half the Rangers side also thought that had gone out as well.

00:40:52Anyway, it's a little bit more reflective of the way that we've seen.

00:40:54It's a little bit more reflective of the way that we've seen.

00:40:57It's a little bit more reflective of the way that we've seen.

00:40:59I mean, it's a little bit more reflective of the way that we've seen.

00:41:01As it goes down high on the chest of Sterling.

00:41:20Barron with the crossfield ball.

00:41:22Way too much on that.

00:41:23That's not the first time he's done that either.

00:41:25He's joined Rangers from Euro Club, Ben.

00:41:32He's come from Aberdeen.

00:41:37I don't see too many of those transfers, do you?

00:41:39No, you don't.

00:41:40No, the relationship certainly between the fans isn't wonderful.

00:41:49I played in a game of photography where they came marching down the pitch.

00:41:53Oh, really?

00:41:54Seriously, yeah.

00:42:00How does that feel?

00:42:01Not great when you tuck in a corner and they're right in front of you.

00:42:10Here comes Rangers.

00:42:11Looking to work that in towards Dessas.

00:42:13It's too much on it again.

00:42:15Dessas does pretty well to get there.

00:42:16Hamad tidies up.

00:42:25I'd take Ben from Salford over an army of Rangers fans, just so you know.

00:42:31I'd take Ben from Salford over an army of Rangers fans, just so you know.

00:42:45Manana.

00:42:54Yoro.

00:42:56He can be pretty pleased with the first half he's had in a Manchester United shirt.

00:43:00Yeah.

00:43:01Good confidence builder.

00:43:05I think Andre Anana has looked really confident with the ball at his feet when he's playing short.

00:43:10I just think that some of his longer kicking has gone a little bit awry.

00:43:20Except for that one.

00:43:20Yeah, well, that one was on point, wasn't it?

00:43:22That was always going to happen when you questioned it.

00:43:31Just your luck, really.

00:43:32As Jadon Sancho picks this up and finds it back to Lenny Yoro.

00:43:39Nice bit of body movement.

00:43:41Sends Dessas the wrong way.

00:43:45Evans.

00:43:48Through ball to Wheatley, back to Sancho.

00:43:52Nicely picked up that by Ethan Wheatley.

00:43:53Come on, wants that nice and early.

00:43:59It's been delivered to him by Yoro as well.

00:44:05Casemiro.

00:44:08Floats a ball to the toe of Jadon Sancho.

00:44:12Lovely pass from the Brazilian, that was.

00:44:15Jonny Evans, just 90 seconds away from half-time here.

00:44:21I think Manchester United will be relatively happy on the whole,

00:44:25on the balance of things, with their first half here at Murrayfield.

00:44:28Yeah, and as pre-season friendly's goal this early into pre-season,

00:44:32it's been a decent game to watch.

00:44:36Another great ball forward by Casemiro this time, and it's found Ahmad again.

00:44:40And he's got the bit between his teeth here,

00:44:42Ahmad's gonna have another go as he lays it across to Sancho!

00:44:44It's over the top.

00:44:45Well, again, Manchester United breaking with incisive football.

00:44:51This time it's over the bar from the left winger.

00:44:54Great ball from Casemiro, one touch, great vision.

00:44:58Straight into the path of Ahmad.

00:45:00And again, I don't think Jetty's gonna enjoy his first...

00:45:04His first time out in a Rangers shirt.

00:45:06And Jadon Sancho will be really disappointed

00:45:08that he at least didn't make the goalkeeper work.

00:45:14It's become a mental battle out there for Jeff Day,

00:45:17just as much as it's become a physical one against Ahmad.

00:45:24Just doesn't know whether to stick or twist.

00:45:28It comes down well by Mason Mount.

00:45:30Doesn't know whether to stay or go, whether to go inside or outside,

00:45:33which way do you show him?

00:45:37And that's what happens, you can get underneath the skin of your opponent.

00:45:41A decent first 45 minutes for Manchester United,

00:45:44and a decent goal too for Ahmad to get the scoring underway

00:45:49in pre-season for Eric ten Haagseid,

00:45:51a lovely clipped finish into the back of the net.

00:45:54And it's a goal for the Reds,

00:45:55and it's a goal for the Reds, and it's a goal for the Reds.

00:45:58A lovely clipped finish into the bottom corner

00:46:01after charging in from the right-hand side.

00:46:03United underway in their pre-season,

00:46:06at Murrayfield at half-time,

00:46:08they lead Rangers by a goal to nil.

00:46:24Welcome back to Murrayfield, then, as Manchester United

00:46:27lead Rangers by a goal to nil.

00:46:30And it was a bright first 45 minutes for Ben Thornley and I to watch,

00:46:35and for the fans inside the stands,

00:46:37they've seen Manchester United's first goal of this pre-season tour,

00:46:40thanks to Ahmad, lovely cut in from the right wing,

00:46:44and it opened up for him,

00:46:45and he drilled a shot low into the bottom left-hand corner.

00:46:49And we are, as you might expect,

00:46:51going to see some changes in the second half.

00:46:55Ten of them, in actual fact.

00:46:57Including Hannibal, who's on your screen here.

00:47:01Let's see if I can run through these changes for you.

00:47:02Andre Anana will continue in goal for Manchester United.

00:47:07Then it's going to be Harry Amas, who's going to be at left-back.

00:47:10Habib Aghani at right-back.

00:47:12Will Fish and Rhys Bennett, the two centre-halves.

00:47:16Jack Fletcher and Ayodele will hold the midfield,

00:47:18we think Mather, Hannibal and Ennis behind Joe Hugill up front.

00:47:23They are the Manchester United changes, ten of them in total,

00:47:26and as soon as we get the opportunity to bring you the Rangers changes,

00:47:29we'll do that as well.

00:47:30But as you can imagine, Ben and I are juggling pieces of paper

00:47:34and scribbling things down furiously

00:47:36just to make sure that we've got the Manchester United changes absolutely right for you.

00:47:39I'm not so sure that Rangers will make as many.

00:47:43There's still some players there that were on in the first half,

00:47:46in fact, quite a lot of them were.

00:47:48Yeah.

00:47:49The majority.

00:47:50Harry Amas, looking on, was excellent last season.

00:47:54Also Matondo on for them is a definite change.

00:48:02Maybe the only change.

00:48:06Yeah, in fact, I think Rabih Matondo is the only change for them.

00:48:10Is it Cortes that's gone on?

00:48:12I think it's Cortes that's made way, Ben.

00:48:14Good spot.

00:48:16So, ten changes for Manchester United, which we've already given you,

00:48:19and the single change for Rangers is the introduction of Rabih Matondo.

00:48:27Normally plays off the left, but we'll keep an eye on that situation.

00:48:31Here he is, look, lined up on the left.

00:48:34Almost like Ben knows what he's talking about.

00:48:38And right then, off we go.

00:48:41Ten changes.

00:48:41Right then, off we go.

00:48:48Absolutely raring to go, and some opportunities here

00:48:51for some of Manchester United's jumpsters, Ben,

00:48:53as we get underway in the second half.

00:48:54Yeah, there is.

00:48:56True to his word, he's two lots of 45 minutes in these opening two games,

00:49:00and this is a real opportunity now.

00:49:04When you look at the performance of Toby Collier in that first half,

00:49:07and I said that he was one of the brightest spots in the second half

00:49:09against Rosenborg, and he certainly has grabbed his chance.

00:49:16And these lads have got to do exactly the same.

00:49:20They won't all go on the US tour, I wouldn't have thought,

00:49:23especially with the number of players that will be filtering themselves back

00:49:27in the next few days, or meeting up out there.

00:49:31But it's these players' opportunity to put a marker down.

00:49:35It is.

00:49:35And say to Eric Ten Haag, you can't leave me behind.

00:49:38Well, it is.

00:49:41I mean, I know we've mentioned going back 12 months,

00:49:44but when you're in pre-season, you need to sort of make the comparisons.

00:49:49And this is where Kobe Mane started, and look where he finished.

00:49:53And obviously, Toby Collier's done really well so far.

00:49:56I think he will be an inclusion on the US tour,

00:49:59and certainly somebody that the manager will be thinking about

00:50:03could actually come into the first team and do a job at some point,

00:50:07given what he's seen so far.

00:50:08I certainly think that.

00:50:10He's been really impressive.

00:50:15Bennett goes back to Andre Anana.

00:50:22Fish also inside that penalty area,

00:50:25just makes the run to get that ball out to Oyedeli.

00:50:29Clips a right-footed ball long and up towards Hugill,

00:50:32challenging for the ball.

00:50:33Does just enough in the end.

00:50:37Mather, out it goes.

00:50:39Left-hand side, Harry Amass.

00:50:42Hannibal.

00:50:45Probably didn't get quite as much game time

00:50:47at the back end of last season as he was anticipating,

00:50:50but that's a neat ball into the penalty area,

00:50:52pulled back to the edge of the box.

00:50:53Chance here maybe, but it's well blocked off.

00:50:57And Hamib Ogunnai, who was lasering towards that,

00:51:01couldn't quite get there.

00:51:02Yeah, it was well read, actually, by Matondo,

00:51:04because it was the right ball.

00:51:07The square ball across the area was,

00:51:09six-yard box was cut off,

00:51:10so it was the angle ball back,

00:51:12but it was read well by Matondo.

00:51:16Wilfish is the Manchester United player

00:51:18with the most experience in Scottish football.

00:51:21Here he is on the ball as he swings it across to Rhys Bennett.

00:51:2533 games for Hibbs last season.

00:51:27Unfortunately, played Rangers four times

00:51:32and lost four times.

00:51:34Once in the Scottish Cup and thrice in the league.

00:51:38So not necessarily the best of records against Rangers.

00:51:45But he'll be pretty comfortable with the city.

00:51:51Hamib Ogunnai made the bench a few times

00:51:53for Manchester United men's first XI.

00:52:00Didn't quite get the opportunity

00:52:02to make his start.

00:52:04That's almost given away on the edge of the penalty area.

00:52:09The rain falls again at Murrayfield.

00:52:13Hamas trying to get on the end of that.

00:52:22Bennett tries to crack the ball clear,

00:52:25comes off Sterling,

00:52:27then back off Bennett and out of play.

00:52:29A little bit of time on loan last season.

00:52:31Rhys Bennett with Stockport County,

00:52:33who of course were promoted from League Two as champions.

00:52:41Balls out of play far side.

00:52:47I think what you're seeing Philippe Clament do

00:52:49with this Rangers team is probably what

00:52:53Eric Tenhau will be looking at doing

00:52:55when they get onto the US tour and

00:52:57building up the stamina in the legs

00:52:59and playing 65, 70 minutes.

00:53:03Slightly overrun by Hannibal.

00:53:09Well, that's important, isn't it?

00:53:12As you go into the start of a Premier League season

00:53:14that your fitness is absolutely peak levels.

00:53:20Matonda up against Ogunnai.

00:53:23Ogunnai steps in.

00:53:24It's a good challenge from the Manchester United men's team.

00:53:27Knocks it out of play.

00:53:29Doesn't commit himself by going to ground.

00:53:31He's a tricky customer, Matondo.

00:53:41Left-wing corner.

00:53:41Manchester United delivered plenty of these corners

00:53:44from this end of the pitch in the first half.

00:53:46Didn't have to defend too many.

00:53:49Not having to defend now.

00:53:52Comes at the back post,

00:53:53there's a little bit of pushing and shoving.

00:53:55Pops out to the edge of the box

00:53:56where the attempt is charged down.

00:54:00Rugby fashion.

00:54:05Throw-in from Jeff Dey.

00:54:11Not so sure he'll have as uncomfortable a half

00:54:13as he did in the first 45 minutes.

00:54:17Just a nudge off the ball then from Matondo.

00:54:21Just a little stronger

00:54:23than the couple of United players

00:54:25that were challenging him for it.

00:54:29Jeff Dey tries to get past Ogunnai.

00:54:34He's going to want to try and turn his fortunes around, isn't he?

00:54:36Jeff Dey in this second half.

00:54:42Away come Manchester United.

00:54:45Mather.

00:54:48Hamas.

00:54:49Hamas has found a little seam to run into.

00:54:53Got Mather with him.

00:54:55Hugel lurking in the penalty area.

00:54:58It's good defending in the end,

00:54:59three Rangers players getting around the ball and getting it clear.

00:55:03When you look at the performance of Sam Murray in the first half,

00:55:06and just that little burst there from Hamas,

00:55:08and we all know how brilliant he was last season for the under-18s.

00:55:15Luke Shaw's injuries that he had last year,

00:55:18we know that left-back was a real trouble position for Manchester United,

00:55:22so a breath of fresh air having two players with this much confidence

00:55:27stepping up into the first team fold.

00:55:30Well, I agree with you, and you know with...

00:55:33You don't have to.

00:55:34No, I do.

00:55:35With Tarell Molassia, on this occasion I do.

00:55:38I don't normally, but on this occasion I do.

00:55:39Tarell Molassia sort of still undergoing his own training program,

00:55:44getting himself back to fitness after the injury problems,

00:55:48horrible injury problems that he had last season.

00:55:50Luke Shaw just about back to fitness,

00:55:53obviously featuring in the finals at the Euros.

00:55:57It's really handy for Eric ten Haag to have another left-back that's available to him,

00:56:01just for balance more than anything else when you're on a pre-season tour,

00:56:05to make sure that those shapes and structures and patterns of play

00:56:09are all sort of tightly adhered to.

00:56:15And to make sure that they can compete at the tender ages at that level of competition.

00:56:21Hugely important, isn't it?

00:56:25Very, very young side out on the field here.

00:56:31Only player older than 21 is Andre Anan.

00:56:35Everybody else is playing in Manchester United's academy

00:56:39at the moment, either at under-18s or under-21s.

00:56:44That's a decent touch to carry the ball clear from Jack Fletcher.

00:56:50Next part didn't quite go to plan.

00:56:55One of two Fletcher brothers playing in Manchester United's academy.

00:57:02Down to Darren, watching from the sidelines.

00:57:07Ayodele steps in, United come away with it.

00:57:10Oganai picks a path to Ennis.

00:57:13Ennis finds Hugill.

00:57:15Hugill gets his head up, now needs an option.

00:57:17Wants the overlap or the underlap.

00:57:18He's going to get it with Ennis down the right-hand side,

00:57:21who just gets eased out of it by Matonda.

00:57:25Yeah, I think if Joe Hugill would have got his head up,

00:57:28he'd have seen Jack Fletcher in the centre of the pitch in acres of space.

00:57:33He just needed to find that drilled pass across.

00:57:37Midfielder would have been in with at least a strike on goal

00:57:40and maybe had somebody outside him.

00:57:53Desses unhappy with the challenge.

00:57:59Yeah, he's had a strange game, hasn't he?

00:58:00He started off by getting whacked in the face.

00:58:03Then he clotheslined Mason Mount.

00:58:06Yeah, he had an odd first half.

00:58:10He's a lovely footwork from Harry Amass.

00:58:21Really well done on the halfway line from the youngster.

00:58:28Crucially important to those trophy wins for the under-18s last season.

00:58:35Hard to find a player that wasn't actually,

00:58:37that played any part of that.

00:58:38They were all brilliant.

00:58:40It's a good tackle from Diamande.

00:58:47Hannibal just beaten to it.

00:58:51I think it was just a little bit of body strength, wasn't it?

00:58:53There wasn't too much in it.

00:58:54I think he'd have been disappointed if it had been the other way around.

00:59:02Strong challenge from Diamande.

00:59:04Mohamed Diamande coming into this Rangers side in this offseason.

00:59:14He's coming from Denmark, FC Nordsjælland.

00:59:19Five million euros.

00:59:23Desses goes one way, then the other.

00:59:24Pulls it back, cleared away.

00:59:27Well done by Will Fish.

00:59:30He just got caught there, didn't he, Rhys Bennett?

00:59:34That was the problem.

00:59:35When he rotated his body the full 360 degrees,

00:59:38he knows he can't do that.

00:59:40He has to get himself in a position where he can rotate

00:59:43and move from foot to foot.

00:59:45Once you start turning your back like that, you'd lose out.

00:59:53Hannibal tries to get tight to Suter,

00:59:56Hannibal tries to get tight to Suter,

00:59:58but played out to the right-hand side.

01:00:04Rangers just having a little bit more luck in finding these passes at the moment

01:00:10than they did at the back end of the first half.

01:00:13Jeff Day looks for a way through.

01:00:15Will Fish is alive and aware to that situation.

01:00:2620 years old, 33 games in the Scottish Premiership last season.

01:00:36Will Fish, seasoned campaigner now.

01:00:40Been on loan there a couple of seasons, hasn't he?

01:00:49Familiar stomping ground in Edinburgh.

01:00:56What often happens when you get multiple changes at the start of a second half

01:01:02is it just takes everybody a minute or two to find some kind of rhythm.

01:01:09Essentially, these players have been playing, what, 11, 12 minutes?

01:01:13Here comes Matondo with the effort,

01:01:17but it's straight down the throat of Andrea.

01:01:20Yeah, he's not really been tested, has he?

01:01:22And he's had a couple of shots that have needed to be saved

01:01:25because he's purely and simply been on target,

01:01:27but nothing that has anywhere near troubled him.

01:01:32Not so sure whether, as a goalkeeper, you'd want that in pre-season, would you?

01:01:38I find it best not to second-guess goalkeepers.

01:01:41I often find that their methods of thinking are different to mine.

01:01:49I mean, you've got to be different, haven't you,

01:01:53to stand between two sticks and let people hit a football at you?

01:01:57Yeah, completely and utterly barmy.

01:02:03Yeah.

01:02:05Yeah, struggling to find one that I know that isn't.

01:02:11Lovely human beings, nobody's saying that, just...

01:02:14And we've had some good ones.

01:02:15Yeah, haven't we just?

01:02:17Well, that's a lovely ball in the middle.

01:02:19And that's brilliant work from Manchester United defensively.

01:02:22Will Fish getting back into position, putting the block on Matondo.

01:02:26Brilliant defensive work all round from United.

01:02:29Yeah, for the first time, I think, for the whole game,

01:02:33United have really been undone.

01:02:37And it was just that first touch, wasn't it, from Matondo,

01:02:39he didn't get it enough out of his feet,

01:02:40which allowed Will Fish to get back and make a really good last-ditch challenge.

01:02:46Yeah, they had a chance, didn't they, from Scott Wright in the first half

01:02:49when one pass was enough to see him have a strike on goal.

01:02:53They've just done it again there.

01:02:57Hannibal receiving instructions from Erik ten Haag.

01:03:05The rain tumbles down again.

01:03:07It'll feel just like home, won't it?

01:03:13He was openly critical, wasn't he, the manager, about the work rate.

01:03:20In the second half especially,

01:03:21which featured quite a lot of these lads that you're seeing now,

01:03:25so I think that's something that they'll definitely want to put right.

01:03:31Well, I mean, from that game against Rosenberg,

01:03:35we're already at a point where there haven't been as many shots on target

01:03:40conceded as there were in that game.

01:03:43No.

01:03:44Short of a flurry of 15 or so in this second period,

01:03:49it's an improvement.

01:03:52Although not something that really overly concerns Erik ten Haag,

01:03:54the shots on target figure that we saw during games last season,

01:03:59more about the quality of chance that's been created.

01:04:07It's been a bit stop-start, a bit bitty, hasn't it, this second period so far?

01:04:15I don't think it'll be too long before you...

01:04:17We'll see a whole host of changes for the opposition.

01:04:24It's five or ten minutes, I would imagine.

01:04:30A wrestling match between Hugill and Davis.

01:04:35Back it comes to Hannibal.

01:04:47Bennett to Maxi Ayodele.

01:05:00Bennett tries to get a bit of impetus going here.

01:05:04Gets it back, turns it infield to Hannibal.

01:05:08Worked on to Fish.

01:05:13And now Ennis.

01:05:17Ayodele.

01:05:27Hannibal dropping deep again to try and link up the play, but

01:05:33just no way through for United at the minute, Ben.

01:05:35I haven't got a problem with the likes of Hannibal or Ayodele dropping deep,

01:05:40but I think once you do get on the ball, even in the deep line positions,

01:05:45you want to lift your head up and you want to make something happen, you want to go forward.

01:05:50And there's no point in picking up the ball deep and then playing it back even deeper.

01:05:55You're not going to gain anything from that.

01:05:58It's better from Manchester United, though.

01:06:00One and two touch from Hannibal, and now he's trying to work that ball forward.

01:06:07Mather.

01:06:09Amas.

01:06:11Hannibal goes down under the challenge.

01:06:14Referee says that will be a free kick.

01:06:19Opportunity to get one into the penalty area here for Manchester United.

01:06:28I think he wasn't bothered about the foul, was he, Hannibal?

01:06:31It was the little kick of the ball into his midriff from Di Mondi after that,

01:06:38which he took exception to.

01:06:39It's going to be Hannibal to deliver this.

01:06:44It's a dangerous looking ball too, but well headed away.

01:06:49De Ces doing his defensive duties as well.

01:06:55Jeff Day was trying to find De Ces who was making the run, but it's well blocked by Rhys Bennett.

01:07:05Got to be brave to take one of those.

01:07:07Got to be brave to take one of those on the thigh in the

01:07:10freezing cold and pouring rain at Murrayfield.

01:07:13It's not freezing cold, Liam. Don't exaggerate.

01:07:15It's July, Ben.

01:07:17I know it's July. I'm not disputing that, but it's not freezing cold, is it?

01:07:20It's just wet.

01:07:21And cold.

01:07:24I've just got back from the south of France, so everything's cold at the minute.

01:07:29Like you when you got back from Malta. Bet you were chilly, weren't you?

01:07:37No comment.

01:07:42Headed away by Rhys Bennett.

01:07:45Oh, it's good and strong that from Ethan Ennis.

01:07:48Just stands his ground, I think.

01:07:54One thing is that with the rain that he's falling at Murrayfield,

01:07:58the pitch will have some zip about it, which will help with the pace of the passing.

01:08:04And it skips across the surface.

01:08:09A lot more difficult when the pitches are drier, as they were on Monday.

01:08:12Yeah, the Rosenborg game was very dry, wasn't it?

01:08:15Makes life much more tricky.

01:08:31Back with the goalkeeper, Butland.

01:08:33Manchester United's next tour game comes a week today.

01:08:41Is that right? A week today against Arsenal?

01:08:44Overnight, Saturday into Sunday, isn't it?

01:08:45Yeah, early hours of Sunday, the 28th, yeah.

01:08:49UK time, obviously.

01:08:51We should be with you for that one.

01:08:54Don't forget, you can get exclusive commentary of every Manchester United pre-season game on MUTV.

01:09:00Every game live.

01:09:06Looking forward to that tour to America, some good games in there.

01:09:09Arsenal game, Liverpool game, the game against Betis too.

01:09:20Excited to see what might happen with this new look Manchester United tie.

01:09:25This new look Manchester United tie.

01:09:28Certainly the pre-season games that you want.

01:09:33Amass makes a decent challenge, loose inside the penalty area.

01:09:37Argenay gets there, so too does the goalkeeper, Inanna, but still loose.

01:09:43Jeff Day comes back to Diamande.

01:09:48All sorts of confusion in the penalty area, Ben.

01:09:51Well, I mean, I'd have to see it again, but for me, when the ball is up in the air like that,

01:09:59the goalkeeper, we are going to see it again.

01:10:04Has got to come and, a goalkeeper's got to come and claim that.

01:10:09He's got to just take everything.

01:10:12He's got his eye on it.

01:10:13I wonder whether, you know, Wolves followed by the other one at the end of last season

01:10:22where he gets penalised for coming in, collecting everything, is in the back of his mind.

01:10:31Chance here from the edge of the box, bent towards goal, it's not far away,

01:10:34and Andre Inanna was scrabbling to get across to it.

01:10:38Decent hit from Scott Wright.

01:10:40Yeah, it was.

01:10:42And he's probably had the best of the efforts for Rangers in this game.

01:10:47He wasn't too far away.

01:10:52It's closer than I thought, actually, in second viewing.

01:10:59Struck it well, just couldn't get it to curl inside the post.

01:11:02No, right idea.

01:11:05Hoganay.

01:11:08Hannibal.

01:11:09Does well to wriggle free of a couple of challenges here, Hannibal.

01:11:14Does well to keep hold of the ball, that.

01:11:15Yeah, he does.

01:11:16Nice bit of skill.

01:11:21Ennis, sliding this back to Hoganay.

01:11:26Fish to Inanna.

01:11:31And that's what I mean about his long kicking.

01:11:35I know you wouldn't expect him to be able to do that.

01:11:37I know you wouldn't exactly call that long, but from what we're used to see...

01:11:44His little short passing of, you know, sort of five and ten yards, he's brilliant, but

01:11:48that definitely, for me, needs tidying up from Andre Inanna with both feet,

01:11:52because he can use both feet.

01:11:54It's what pre-season's for, I suppose.

01:11:56Yes, it is.

01:11:57Get your sharpness in those areas.

01:12:01First game back for Andre Inanna after Radic Witek did incredibly well

01:12:07in Trondheim.

01:12:08He certainly did.

01:12:09He was very impressive.

01:12:13He's been around the club for a little while now, Radic Witek.

01:12:17He is huge as well.

01:12:20Really tall human.

01:12:21He is.

01:12:22And that's coming from me.

01:12:26He was good and brave at points too.

01:12:28Enjoyed watching that performance from him on Monday.

01:12:33That's well worked round the corner by Manchester United.

01:12:35Fletcher now out to Amas.

01:12:41Mather.

01:12:47One and two touch football again from Manchester United as they're trying to

01:12:50find a way through.

01:12:50Amas comes back down the line to Fletcher.

01:12:59Bennett finds Oyedeli.

01:13:03Oyedeli, he's going to try and feed this through.

01:13:06It's brilliant for Hugill!

01:13:07What an effort that is!

01:13:09Off the underside of the crossbar.

01:13:10It's an extra set from Hugill to make it two.

01:13:13Rangers nil, Manchester United two.

01:13:16What a finish.

01:13:18That's a brilliant goal.

01:13:19It really is the acceleration of Joe Hugill.

01:13:23And then for him to smash that off the underside of the bar,

01:13:27which I'm pretty sure he didn't mean to do.

01:13:29But what he did do was hit it through.

01:13:34Clever.

01:13:36Really tremendously weighted pass from Maxi Oyedeli.

01:13:43And when he saw that skip away from Diamonde, he's on his bike, Joe Hugill,

01:13:47and he just crashes it in.

01:13:50Exactly the same position where Scott Wright was earlier in the half,

01:13:54if you remember, and I said maybe he starts it off in the near post.

01:13:59That's exactly what he's done.

01:14:01But the sheer power and Jack Butlan probably expecting him to go across him.

01:14:05That's a really handy finish from the centre forward.

01:14:09So difficult for Jack Butlan.

01:14:11That it's been hit hard.

01:14:13It's been hit high.

01:14:15It's gone the opposite way to the way that you think it's going to go.

01:14:17It's almost impossible to save.

01:14:20But Joe Hugill, that is some finish.

01:14:24Yeah, his pace got him onto it.

01:14:26Don't get me wrong.

01:14:27It was well weighted from Maxi Oyedeli.

01:14:32It's a fantastic finish.

01:14:38And Rangers haven't made the changes that I anticipated they might.

01:14:42Obviously, they're taking the...

01:14:44It's a very small squad compared to Rangers.

01:14:46They don't have the number of players available to them as Manchester United do.

01:14:51But maybe they are, you know, eggs in the basket here.

01:14:53We've got to get some minutes into the legs of these players

01:14:55before the season starts in a couple of weeks' time.

01:14:58Maybe you called it exactly right earlier, Ben.

01:15:00No, no.

01:15:01I genuinely didn't think that they would play any longer than about 65, 70 minutes.

01:15:06So it's a little bit of a surprise to me.

01:15:11Far be it from you to tell me that I'm right once in a blue moon.

01:15:14I've just done that, and then you told me I was wrong.

01:15:17I'm trying to be nice to you.

01:15:18I can't win, can you?

01:15:19No, not when it comes to you, I can't.

01:15:21That's been given away.

01:15:23Dessas going to try and run this in.

01:15:25Fish trying to close him down.

01:15:26Gets it square towards Matondo.

01:15:28Andre Athana calling out the defenders whilst he's trying to close down the angles.

01:15:33Matondo.

01:15:34That's against Doganite, who stabs the clearance away to the corner flag.

01:15:38It's been kept in play by...

01:15:40No, it hasn't.

01:15:42I thought that was...

01:15:45What's been given here?

01:15:47Well, that was just unfortunate, wasn't it?

01:15:50There is perhaps too big of a gap between Fish and Bennett.

01:15:54But Andre Athana comes out, and this will please Eric ten Haag.

01:15:57Look at the amount of red shirts that are back helping out there.

01:16:02Completely outnumbered Rangers.

01:16:04That's really good.

01:16:09Everybody makes mistakes on a football field,

01:16:10but it's how you rectify them and how quickly you rectify them.

01:16:14Manchester United potentially on the front foot again here,

01:16:17just as Hannibal was about to start to accelerate.

01:16:22The slippery underfoot conditions from the rain come back to haunt him.

01:16:28Manchester United do still have substitutions available to them,

01:16:54and substitutes warming up too.

01:16:56Scanlon doing the rounds.

01:17:06Tickets for the Betis game are available if you'd like to buy them.

01:17:08I think that one's the 31st of July.

01:17:11If you want to get your tickets, they're available now.

01:17:13Just head to Manchester United website or app.

01:17:16You can pick up the tickets that you need for that game.

01:17:26Ayodele.

01:17:30Fletcher.

01:17:31Just no real option on for him immediately.

01:17:34So recycles the ball to Rhys Bennett.

01:17:45Moving the ball pretty well.

01:17:46It's just become increasingly difficult as this second half has gone on.

01:17:50Ben to find easy penetration into this ranger's side.

01:17:58Yeah, they've been on the pitch, all of them now by Matondo.

01:18:05And you can see that's a good cross.

01:18:07They're still defended well, United, because they've been in much better positions, Rangers.

01:18:11And they have certainly been in better positions than United have in this second half.

01:18:19But it was the one time United did get in that they thrashed the ball home and doubled their lead.

01:18:26I think with better decisions, Rangers could have at least have had a goal on the...

01:18:32Here we go.

01:18:35Keystone cops.

01:18:37Well, we'll do our best with these, but there's a lot of them.

01:18:41So we've got Danilo, Kieran Dowell.

01:18:54McKinnon, McCausland.

01:18:57McKinnon, McCausland.

01:18:58Balligan, King, Goldson.

01:19:00Balligan, King, Goldson and Lowry as well.

01:19:03So that's one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight changes in the 75th minute there.

01:19:11Okay.

01:19:14I bet we've missed one.

01:19:15Yeah, of course we have.

01:19:17Of course we have.

01:19:23It's easy to spot the survivors, isn't it?

01:19:25To be fair, there is only one other that could have come on and we have missed him

01:19:28because Yilmaz is up as well, down on the bottom right hand corner of the screen.

01:19:32Told you.

01:19:34There can't be any more changes because the other two are goalkeepers that are on the bench for

01:19:37Rangers.

01:19:38So all substitutions used now for the Scottish side.

01:19:47And that would probably disrupt their momentum as well.

01:19:51Yeah, you probably expect five or six minutes here of just a little bit of staccato football.

01:20:03Balligan.

01:20:06It's a decent ball out to Yilmaz.

01:20:12A little bit of confusion but just enough on it to

01:20:15get rid of the danger from Manchester United.

01:20:21Imagine that, a pre-season friendly in July

01:20:27and the pack-a-mack people have probably made more money than the Agus fans.

01:20:33They do, Agus fans?

01:20:35I don't know.

01:20:35They probably, I'm sure they will do, won't they?

01:20:39Neeps and tatties extra.

01:20:40Neeps and tatties, yeah.

01:20:42Are they extra though? Are they outside or the bed? That's what I want to know.

01:20:44I'm sure they still do hot dogs and burgers but I was just relating it to where the game was.

01:20:48No, I understood.

01:20:51Just winding you up, really.

01:20:52Yeah.

01:20:55I mean, you'd be standing outside now with your pack-a-macks ready to go, wouldn't you?

01:21:00Knowing that these fans leaving the stadium could easily get drenched

01:21:04if the rain continues like this.

01:21:06Not so hot in Greater Manchester either this afternoon, evening.

01:21:15Beautiful day yesterday.

01:21:1827, 28 degrees.

01:21:25A crowd of 50,000 plus decent attendance at Murrayfield.

01:21:31Manchester United popular wherever they go.

01:21:37As we saw in Trondheim on Monday and as we'll see all the way through the US tour

01:21:44on MUTV, you'll be able to see just how popular Manchester United are

01:21:49in whichever country it is that they turn up in.

01:21:52Paul Forward has Amass chasing it pretty well.

01:22:01Harry Amass there just to keep pace with McCausland.

01:22:11This young Manchester United side were an absolute joy to watch

01:22:16last season as they went through the under-18s Premier League.

01:22:20One small blot on the copybook was the game against Swindon in the FA Youth Cup.

01:22:24Didn't quite manage to get over the line in that one,

01:22:26but on absolutely everything else they could possibly have won.

01:22:31It must have just been the one game when virtually none of them performed

01:22:36and they chose to do it in the biggest competition.

01:22:40It was such a shame because, like you say, just a blot on the copybook

01:22:43from what was an absolutely outstanding season.

01:22:46They'll be disappointed, especially the lads that don't get another stab at it,

01:22:50not to have won it, because they would have done.

01:22:53They were the best side that I saw in that competition last season, by a mile.

01:22:59Yes, but everybody can have an off day and Swindon took their chances

01:23:03and deserved it on the night.

01:23:08You think that this Manchester United academy system just keeps on...

01:23:11Churning.

01:23:12Yeah, producing quality, quality footballers.

01:23:17Miscontrolled and out of play, and I think Kobe Mane is just a fantastic example

01:23:21of how the academy system works and how Nick Cox and everybody that's involved

01:23:26in that are doing such good work at the academy at the moment.

01:23:31Not just as a footballer, but as a human being.

01:23:34Kobe Mane has been exceptional at every turn.

01:23:39He's got his just desserts.

01:23:41That's majorly important, too.

01:23:45Started the season in the under-19s UEFA Youth League against Copenhagen,

01:23:50and then he finishes it in a Euros final in an England shirt.

01:23:54It just shows you all these lads that are on here and some of the ones

01:23:59that started the game in the first half that anything is possible.

01:24:03They're all talented lads, that's why they're at Manchester United.

01:24:05And it's how you apply that talent.

01:24:09Putting it all together is the tricky bit.

01:24:11Yeah.

01:24:14And you need a little bit of luck.

01:24:18It goes without saying, you do need a little bit of luck along the way.

01:24:23A bit like that.

01:24:24Yeah, he's got a bit of luck.

01:24:26He's got a bit of luck, he's got a bit of luck, he's got a bit of luck.

01:24:28He's got a bit of luck, he's got a bit of luck, he's got a bit of luck.

01:24:31A bit like that.

01:24:32You're not wrong.

01:24:34You also need the ability to not get too despondent when things don't go your way.

01:24:41So when Kobe Mane, who picks up the injury on their pre-season tour last season,

01:24:45it's very easy to sort of go, oh, that was my chance, gone.

01:24:49Not the case, not the case.

01:24:51And I think that's kind of what I'm talking about when we talk about

01:24:54the academy system at Manchester United and just how positive it is

01:24:58in creating good footballers and rounded humans.

01:25:01Yeah.

01:25:03Oganai.

01:25:07Fish.

01:25:09Nowhere to go, really, did he?

01:25:10Plays it against Oganai and now Manchester United are retreating.

01:25:14Bennett's going to get there first and...

01:25:15A little bit of justice because he stole about 10 yards on that throw-in.

01:25:18It did.

01:25:20Bennett was alive and aware to the situation.

01:25:22Does well to roll that back to Andre Onana.

01:25:27That's a good ball out from Manchester United goalkeeper.

01:25:31Signs that he might be finding his range with these long kicks.

01:25:39Oyedeli.

01:25:44Manchester-born Maxi Oyedeli, but actually qualifies internationally for Poland.

01:25:56I'll see you.

01:26:04Clipped away by Rangers.

01:26:08Strong from Ethan Ennis, but too strong according to the referee on Yilmaz.

01:26:14Not so sure I saw a difference between the challenge on Hannibal by Diamande earlier,

01:26:18which I didn't think was a foul, neither did I think that was.

01:26:21Again, it was just two upper bodies coming together and Ethan Ennis was the stronger.

01:26:29I always think that, you know, shoulder-to-shoulder contact should be

01:26:33pretty much all right, unless there's a use of

01:26:37an arm to throw somebody or whatever, but it's just a racing incident.

01:26:42Yeah.

01:26:47Ten Hag has donned the waterproof.

01:26:51Made it through the first half wearing his light black jacket, but

01:26:58to get the old Adidas waterproof on.

01:27:08Balogun.

01:27:13Oh, rangy ball forward.

01:27:15It's going to be brought down, is it, in the penalty area?

01:27:16No, it just couldn't be brought under control by Matonda.

01:27:20That's a chance.

01:27:21That is definitely a chance.

01:27:25I mean, again, he's not really sure where he is, Will Fish.

01:27:30He needs to alter his body shape so that he can see Matondo.

01:27:37And he's got to have communication as well from Habiba Ghani.

01:27:42That's got to go down as a chance and that's

01:27:44second time in as many minutes that Matondo has miscontrolled the ball.

01:27:48Oh, Mass with lovely control again out on that far side and

01:27:52draws the tackle, gets the high five too from Sam Mather.

01:28:07Maria Mass waiting to take the throw, finds Hannibal.

01:28:14Back it comes to Bennett.

01:28:18I think Matondo gets caught in two minds there, doesn't he?

01:28:22He doesn't know whether to bring it down with his right or his left.

01:28:25And at the point that he makes a decision, it's too late.

01:28:28Or whether he just delicately tries to beat him first time or not.

01:28:40It's going to have to be a decent back pass this one, and it is.

01:28:43Makes it all the way through to Butland, the goalkeeper.

01:28:48Yilmaz, this one down to Balogun.

01:29:01Five minutes to go, Ben.

01:29:02What do you think Eric ten Haag will make of

01:29:04the two separate halves that we've seen today?

01:29:07Obviously, he's going to be more pleased with the first half because the football,

01:29:12you know, had a little bit of rhythm to it, a little bit of a tempo.

01:29:15They played some really good stuff as well.

01:29:18But, you know, similarly, he's seen a reaction from this group of players

01:29:21from Norway to here, and they've also scored a brilliant goal.

01:29:25And the fact that, you know, within the next, what, four or five minutes,

01:29:29they can keep Rangers out, who have looked slightly more threatening in the second half,

01:29:33but United have defended well when they've needed to.

01:29:37If they can keep a clean sheet and score two goals as good as the ones that they got,

01:29:41I think that he'll be relatively happy.

01:29:46I think you're probably about spot on with that assessment.

01:29:48I think I've, you know, enjoyed in the first half the sort of patterns

01:29:52that Manchester United were putting together.

01:29:53The overlapping runs, the underlapping runs, the switches of position,

01:29:57all of the stuff that you kind of expect to see from an Eric ten Haag managed side.

01:30:02And it's a more experienced team.

01:30:04You know, I realise that they haven't got the minutes in the legs yet,

01:30:06but it is a more experienced side.

01:30:08But I think that man on the ball there has done really well in the second half,

01:30:15made some important interceptions and...

01:30:19Well, we were very full of praise for the goalkeeper after the game

01:30:22in Trondheim against Rosenborg.

01:30:25We're going to be full of praise for the centre-halves, I think, today.

01:30:28I thought the first appearance of Lenny Yoro was really promising

01:30:33for Manchester United, and I think Wilfish has done well in the second half too.

01:30:37And Ahmad Diallo, of course, who had a pretty standout first 45 minutes.

01:30:41Yeah, him and Toby Collier, I thought, were really good in the first half.

01:30:47Ahmad especially, but I was really impressed with Toby Collier.

01:30:52He showed me something on Monday night, and he continued it and proved me right

01:30:58in the first 45 minutes this evening.

01:30:59Down the left it comes from Rangers, heading to its conclusion,

01:31:11but Yilmaz is going to whip that cross in.

01:31:13Real opportunity, good stop from Andre Anana, going the wrong way,

01:31:16he manages to get down quickly and keep it out.

01:31:19Yeah, Ethan Ennis, I've been there so many times when you're not a full-back,

01:31:26but you've still got to stay with your runner.

01:31:28I know that he slipped a little bit.

01:31:31It was a good save from Anana in the end.

01:31:34Great tackle.

01:31:35You can see Aya Daly sliding in.

01:31:40Liverpool trying to get there, but have a hard time getting all the way through

01:31:46on that occasion.

01:31:48Goldson, just a little bit too big for Hannibal to work his way past.

01:31:59Progress for Erik ten Haag's Manchester United side, I think we can say,

01:32:03and that's what pre-season games are for.

01:32:06You want to see progression in every single game that this team plays.

01:32:10Yeah, you keep moving, he'll be pleased that he's kept a clean sheet,

01:32:15he was unlucky not to keep one on on Monday night despite the

01:32:19below-par performance, or certainly below par for what he was expecting and what he was demanding.

01:32:27Maybe one more roll of the dice here for Rangers,

01:32:30McCausland is dispossessed by a referee,

01:32:33he's got to get back on the pitch,

01:32:35McCausland is dispossessed by a retreating Sam Mather.

01:32:42Jack Fletcher just making a nuisance of himself at the other end as well.

01:32:49Butlant, 60 seconds to go.

01:32:56Can't imagine they'll have any time added on at the end of this 90 minutes,

01:33:01despite the tranche of substitutions.

01:33:04Tranche?

01:33:08Appropriately used.

01:33:09I'm very impressed.

01:33:13I mean, it's a low bar with me, isn't it?

01:33:15That's why he's so easily impressed, it's a low bar.

01:33:20Balligan goes back to Butlant.

01:33:26This game certainly sort of petering towards its conclusion here.

01:33:30Long ball, straight out of play, and that will be pretty much all she wrote, Ben, I think.

01:33:34Yeah, it will be.

01:33:36It's been, I would say, a very satisfying late afternoon for Erik ten Haag,

01:33:41and he's seen two really good goals and some really good football.

01:33:53Amas.

01:33:55Headed away, full-time whistle goes, and Manchester United

01:34:00have their first win of their pre-season tour, 20-24-25, under their belt.

01:34:05Brilliant goals from Amad Diallo in the first half, cutting in from the right wing,

01:34:09and an emphatic finish from Joe Hugill in the second half

01:34:13give Manchester United a 2-0 win against Rangers at Murrayfield.

01:34:18They are off and underway, full-time at Murrayfield.

01:34:21It's Manchester United 2-0 Rangers.

01:34:292-0.
