Manchester United defeated Wrexham 4-1 in their behind-closed-doors friendly fixture on Wednesday afternoon as Christian Eriksen and Lisandro Martinez both got their first runouts for the club. The match at Carrington kicked off at 2pm with Erik ten Hag utilising the opportunity to give minutes to a number of senior stars who are still lacking match sharpness.
The Manchester Evening News understands Eriksen scored with a free-kick for United and Wrexham defender Aaron Hayden levelled the scores heading into half-time. United then netted three goals without reply after the break.
Alejandro Garnacho, who didn't see a single minute of action in United's tour matches in Thailand and Australia, did play in this afternoon's match and also scored. Amad and Alex Telles were United's other scorers.
