With a spectacular comeback, the Red Devils won resoundingly

MU scored 3 consecutive goals after just the first 15 minutes of the second half, with convincing performances from the stars and ending the match with a 3-1 final victory.

The two teams entered the game excitedly right after the referee blew the opening whistle.

However, while they were busy attacking but without results, Man United suddenly received a bucket of cold water from the away team.

Antony had 1 goal and 1 assist in this match.

Receiving an unexpected defeat, MU seemed to wake up and play much more firmly, but with the concentration of Lens players, the Old Trafford team was powerless to find Samba’s goal and accept the result.

In the second half, the Red Devils showed a completely different side.

The game in the following minutes was quite gentle as both teams seemed to be satisfied with the final score.

1`: THE MATCH STARTS

MU took the field with its strongest squad in the first match returning to Old Trafford in this 2023 summer friendly.

MU: Onana, Martinez, Mount, B. Fernandes, Rashford, Casemiro, R. Varane, Dalot, Antony, Shaw, Garnacho.

Lens: Samba, Machado, Danso, Abdul Samed, Sotoca, Medina, Diouf, Fulgini, Gradit, Thomasson, Frankowski.

Man United in this 2023 summer friendly period is still showing a very inconsistent performance and has not proven the necessary stability in the playing style and tactics that Erik Ten Hag is applying.

As for Lens, 14 consecutive defeats in all competitions, including recent friendly matches, is enough to say many things about the French representative, with their weakness.

Playing at home will be a great advantage for MU to win, creating an important spiritual motivation before the new season is right before our eyes.
