Goals from youngsters Noam Emeran and Joe Hugill gave Manchester United victory over Leeds in their first pre-season encounter in Oslo.
The two sides cancelled each other out in the first half as Hannibal Mejbri came closest for the Red Devils, forcing Leeds goalkeeper Kristoffer Klaesson into a smart save. Debutant Mason Mount impressed for Erik ten Hag’s side, but it was teenage midfielder Kobbie Mainoo who stood out the most – showing why he is so highly rated by coaches at Old Trafford.
The second half saw United ring change their entire team with Leeds also making wholesale changes, albeit having more experience after the break. It was Frenchman Emeran who broke the deadlock with a smart finish after being picked out by Isak Hansen-Aaroeen before Hugill doubled the lead ten minutes from time.
