Manchester United continue winning form under Erik ten Hag with Victory rout

timesofindia.indiatimes.com

Manchester United's bright pre-season form under new manager Erik ten Hag continued with a 4-1 win over Australian side Melbourne Victory in a friendly on Friday.

Having thrashed a flat Liverpool 4-0 in Bangkok on Tuesday, United shrugged off an early Victory goal with a two-goal burst late in the first half.

Substitute Marcus Rashford grabbed a third late on at the Melbourne Cricket Ground before a Victory own goal saw the hosts slump to a heavy defeat.

For all the goals, it was a largely workmanlike display from United, who made heavy weather of the four-times A-League champions for parts of the contest in front of a heaving crowd of more than 70,000.
