Manchester United began their pre-season campaign with a 2-0 win against Perth Glory in Australia, Marcus Rashford and James Garner getting the goals as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer 's side cruised to a win.
There was no place in the squad for Romelu Lukaku, who is being chased by Inter Milan, but wantaway midfielder Paul Pogba was one of the 11 players to come on at half-time and was responsible for a huge upturn in performance.
Daniel James and Aaron-Wan Bissaka impressed in their first outings as United players, both offering an exciting and youthful approach that was attacking and direct in possession.
Rashford opened the scoring in front of the 50,000-strong crowd in Perth and youngster Garner doubled the lead with his first touch of the game in the 85th minute.

Player ratings from Manchester United vs Perth Phil Jones - 6 Looked composed in possession and did not have to do any defending, thankfully for United.

Player ratings from Manchester United vs Perth Daniel James - 7 Started brightly and caused Perth problems every time he got on the ball. His energy and direct nature had the opposition chasing shadows throughout and fouling him as a means to stop him. You feel he has slotted into how Solskjaer wants to play and he may be a very useful player from the bench next season.
