Summary of the match Manchester United 4-1 Melbourne Victory's second win in the pre-season period

Manchester United overcame an early setback to beat Melbourne Victory 4-1 while Eric ten Haag's winning start to the new pre-season in Australia continued.

Three days after a promising 4-0 win over arch-rivals Liverpool in humid Bangkok, Man United traveled 4,500 miles to play the second match of his tour on the grounds of the giant Melbourne Cricket Ground.

The victory of the local team was the rival in front of a crowd of 74,157 spectators and threatened to upset when the A-League team took an early lead at the start of the match through the brilliant finishing touch of the player Chris Economides.

Their fans jokingly chanted "You'll be fired in the morning" at Tin hag, but his team went to the end of the first half thanks to Scott McTominay's deflected goal, and also Anthony Marshall's close-range goal.

The Dutch coach changed all ten of his players in the first half, just as he did against the Liverpool team, and took it from a friendly match that came to life only on a couple of other occasions.

Melbourne Victory vs Man United goals

• Marcus Rashford's finishing touch from Eric Bailly's superb cross provided a highlight of the second half that ended with a goal from Tahith Chong's Cross and victory's introduction of new boy Nani.

• The big and warm reception of the former United player was the only moment that brought everyone together at the MCG, where the capable team of the A-League team made its voice heard all the time to the end.

• Some early chants against the United team were stopped for noisy celebrations with just five minutes on the clock.

• Ben Folami was sent running quickly behind Victor Lindelof on the right side and a good cross was made to Economides, who darted away from Harry Maguire and scored a wonderful powerful goal for the first time in the goal of Tom Heaton.

• It was a bad start for the Man United team, who struggled to go to Melbourne.

• Two attempts by McTominay were thwarted and Victory goalkeeper Paul Izzo blocked with one hand, and Bruno Fernandez hardly stopped the scoring from Jadon Sancho's pass.

• The spirited winger was taken off himself soon after, with Maguire and Martial getting a header before McTominay cut in a rebound and a hoped-for try in the 43rd minute of match time saw the Victory player hit and twist.

• United scored another within two minutes as right-back Diogo Dalot's cross was touched by Anthony Ilanga and a powerful Marcial shot into the net.

Melbourne Victory vs Man United match ends
