Manchester United will be hoping to make more pre-season progress under new manager Erik ten Hag when they take on Australian club Melbourne Victory in a ...

1 hour 30 mins to KO: Manchester United providing an early glimpse of the stadium. Harry Maguire starts and reclaims the captain's armband. Fair chance a completely different team will start the second half. Victory conceded a league-low 25 goals from 26 games last season in the A-League Men. The Brazilian scored a stunning chip last time out against Liverpool but this one never looked destined for goal. 34th minute: Martial beats a number of players in the final third but eventually gets overwhelmed in the box. Frustration building for the Red Devils. Not using the width well enough early on. The resulting corner is claimed easily enough by Victory's keeper. Ten Hag won't be happy with that first-half showing though with his side often too slow in the final third and looking fragile when defending Victory's counter attacks. Marcus Rashford is now donning the captain's armband for the Red Devils. 43rd minute: Goal! McTominay pulls United level via a deflected effort.

Match Hub and Highlights: Melbourne Victory 1 United 4 (Manchester United)

Manchester United made it two wins from two games on Tour 22, as Erik ten Hag's side came from behind to defeat Melbourne Victory by four goals to one.

Former Reds winger Nani was then introduced with just a few minutes to go, making his debut for the hosts seven years after his departure from Old Trafford. Fred's goal was the only difference when the two sides met at Old Trafford last December, and attention now turns to next week's pre-season showdown. Then, just moments before the break, the Reds went ahead. The scoring was then completed with just minutes remaining, when Edmond Lupancu diverted a Tahith Chong cross into his own net to make it 4-1, ensuring a second pre-season win for our new Dutch boss. With 15 minutes to go, United had a third, as Eric Bailly burst forward to feed Rashford. The England international nudged his effort beyond Izzo, and opened his Tour 22 account in the process. Zidane Iqbal showcased his talents with a superb piece of skill, as the Reds continued to dominate possession.

NPL Report: Victory 0-2 Western United | Melbourne Victory (Melbourne Victory)

Melbourne Victory suffered a disappointing defeat at the hands of Western United on Saturday afternoon, with both goals coming against the run of play.

“We seemed to look a lot more fluent halfway through that first half. “It has been a disappointing two weeks results wise, so we’re not real happy. I suppose in a way that’s to be expected because there are a few of the boys who train with the A-League squad so they’re doing their pre-season and building up their fitness, so there’s probably not as much freshness when they come into a game because they haven’t played for a while.” A second straight defeat for Victory which leaves them likely relying on the playoffs to earn promotion at the end of the season. Both of the goals coming after periods of Victory dominance was a harsh blow. Melbourne Victory suffered a disappointing defeat at the hands of Western United on Saturday afternoon, with both goals coming against the run of play.

Jadon Sancho among Manchester United's best three players ... (United In Focus)

We have taken a look at the best three players in Erik ten Hag's Manchester United side in their 4-1 win over Melbourne Victory.

Also as was the case against Liverpool, Zidane Iqbal caught the eye with his personality and quality on the ball, with the highlight an impressive turn in the second half, which can be watched below. It was hard for him to get space and chances against a deep defence and a five-man backline, but he looked sharp in what he did. Once again, he played Jadon Sancho and Diogo Dalot on that right flank, and it was there that United looked the most threatening throughout here.

Match report: Victory 1-4 Manchester United | Melbourne Victory (Melbourne Victory)

Manchester United fought back to secure a 4-1 win over Melbourne Victory in their blockbuster pre-season friendly on Friday night.

I thought in certain moments in the match we had them under pressure and panicking and I think we can be proud of ourselves.” “We want to build week to week, game to game. United delivered a much stronger second half performance, settling into their rhythm and keeping Victory pinned back for most of the second 45. However, it would be late heartbreak for Victory as United scored twice in the final few minutes of the first half. Another new signing, goalkeeper Paul Izzo, also stood out with several strong saves. Nonetheless, Victory held firm and kept United at bay for the majority of the half.

Scott McTominay (43') ; Anthony Martial (45'+1') ; Marcus Rashford (78') ; Edmond Lupancu (90' OG).

Eric Bailly burst into midfield and rolled the ball into Rashford to take a touch and poke his finish into the net to score for the first time since January. The Victory fans made the most of their lead, chanting "you're getting sacked in the morning" at Ten Hag but two goals in the three minutes at the end of the first half ensured the Dutchman went off at half-time as the happier of the two managers. Ten Hag again picked his strongest team to start the second game of their tour of Thailand and Australia but after looking shaky at the back in the early stages of their 4-0 win over Liverpool in Bangkok they struggled again in the opening exchanges against Melbourne.
