Manchester United brought a bit of glamour to the capital as Donny van de Beek's second-half strike sunk Lyon. The biggest names were kept in cold storage as the Old Trafford side continued their preparations for the new season with a comfortable friendly win against the French giants.

Mason Mount was on from the start and to be fair, it was a stadium populated by fathers taking their kids to see some heroes as the team-sheet became a game of who's that?

Amad Diallo's early shot was parried to safety by Anthony Lopes as the English side dominated a half which ended with Mount almost finding the top corner with a dipping effort from the edge of the box.

For a side playing only their second friendly of the summer, credit where credit's due, United did display a bit of get-up-and-go but it was sporadic and as for Lyon, going through the motions was the name of the game.
