Amad, Marcus Rashford, Antony and Aaron Wan-Bissaka - winners and losers of Man United tour

Manchester United rounded off their pre-season tour of the United States with a 3-0 defeat against Liverpool. Goals from Fabio Carvalho, Curtis Jones and Kostas Tsimikas meant the Red Devils were beaten in South Carolina.

It followed a narrow 2-1 loss against Arsenal and a 3-2 victory over Real Betis. Erik ten Hag's side were edged out by the Gunners despite going ahead courtesy of a fine finish from Rasmus Hojlund. This was before United produced an excellent attacking performance to beat Betis, with Marcus Rashford, Amad and Casemiro netting for United on that occasion.

Now, United have headed back home to prepare for the Community Shield against Manchester City on Saturday. The Red Devils kickstart the campaign at Wembley after winning the FA Cup back in May, with Ten Hag looking to get underway with a piece of silverware - something United have not done for eight years.

Amad

Although he was not at his flying best against Liverpool, Amad's performance against Real Betis alone has him on the winners list. The Ivorian was unplayable for the first 45 minutes in that one, grabbing a goal and an assist.

If he can replicate that type of display in the Community Shield, he has an excellent chance of starting their first Premier League game. Amad is set to get the nod for the game against City, having impressed in pre-season.
