Manchester United are looking for their fourth win from as many games in this summer’s pre-season and Erik ten Hag’s men now face two friendlies in the space of 24 hours.
Ten Hag named a youthful side for the first game against Wrexham in the early hours of Wednesday morning (or late evening on the American east coast). Jonny Evans was the most senior player involved in the game, with the rest of the side made up of academy hopefuls.
The inexperienced Reds were dealt two heavy first-half blows, with the Welsh dragons scoring twice from set-pieces but now, United have halved the deficit after some lovely play, as seen below.
GOAALLL!!! ⚽️

United were really piling on the pressure in the last few moments of the first half and their dominance finally paid as Marc Jurado got the decisive touch on a cross.
Ten Hag does not have any first-team regulars available to make an appearance in the second half so turning the game around will be on the kids and hopefully, they do just that in the second half.
