Manchester United’s first mid-season friendly during their week-long camp in Spain ended in a 4-2 defeat to locals Cadiz.
The La Liga strugglers went 2-0 up before Anthony Martial dinked home a panenka penalty to reduce the deficit by half-time. The tourists drew level shortly after the break when Kobbie Mainoo’s deflected effort found the net.
But experience proved the difference against a youth-packed second-half side, Erik ten Hag making ten outfield changes from the first period. Cadiz responded with two goals to restore their two-goal cushion and take home the win.
