    The best (albeit also the first) friendly I've watched this summer. Antony plays a low cross into the box and Amad Diallo's first-time shot is palmed over by Anthony Lopes.

    First chance for United. Lyon keeper Anthony Lopes gives the ball straight to Hannibal Mejbri. He finds Amad Diallo, who feeds Antony, but his shot is saved by the keeper.

    A strange kick-off time considering the fact this is in Scotland not the USA or Asia.

  12. Liverpool not open to offers for Luis Diazpublished at 13:57 British Summer Time 19 July 2023

    Liverpool have no intention of selling Luis Diaz this summer, according to The Athletic, external.

    The Colombian moved to Anfield from Porto in January 2022 and is linked with a move to Al Hilal for £43.3 million - a figure Liverpool would not entertain.

    Liverpool have recently handed Diaz their iconic number seven shirt and expect him to kick on this season after missing much of last term with a knee injury.

    Diaz is the third Reds player to be targeted by the Saudi Pro League after a bid for Fabinho was tabled and Jordan Henderson is the subject of interest.

  13. 'Baby' Hojlund 'could do very good job for Utd' - Colepublished at 13:55 British Summer Time 19 July 2023

    Manchester United's starting team today includes plenty of attacking players - Anthony, Amad Diallo, Jadon Sancho, plus new signing Mason Mount - but no recognised strikers.

    With a deal now agreed to bring Inter Milan goalkeeper Andre Onana to Old Trafford, Erik ten Hag’s main priority is to recruit a new forward before the Premier League resumes next month.

    Atalanta’s Denmark striker Rasmus Hojlund is high on their target list, although no agreement has been reached yet over a fee for the 20-year-old.

    Former United striker Andrew Cole told me the current side needs “a number nine who wants to play as a number nine – running into the box, scoring goals, running in behind and stretching teams”.

    He likes what he’s seen of Hojlund. “He is young, strong, powerful. He likes to run at people and he seems very aggressive as well. He could be one United bring in, play him now but work with him for the future. Fingers crossed he could do a very good job.

    “He is only a baby (in age terms) but he has done OK in Italian football and for me that is still a benchmark. People say Serie A is not the strongest league anymore but Italian teams got to the finals of all the European competitions last season."

  14. Rooney - Rashford has to aim for the elitepublished at 13:50 British Summer Time 19 July 2023

    Manchester United's record goal scorer Wayne Rooney has called on Marcus Rashford to prove he is as good as the world's best strikers by firing Erik ten Hag's side to major trophy success.

    Rashford signed a new five-year contract yesterday, committing his long-term future to his only professional club.

    Rooney knows Rashford could have gone elsewhere and turned down bigger salaries to agree a £325,000-a-week contract.

    Now Rooney wants to see Rashford push on.

    "Marcus is an incredible talent and I am delighted he signed new deal," he said.

    "The next five years will be really important for him in terms of his legacy.

    "He can score a lot of goals but if he really wants to go to the level of Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland he has to be the man to get Man Utd back to winning titles."

    Manchester United have not played in Scotland since 2013, and there are plenty of young children clad in red strips at Murrayfield today to catch a glimpse of some of their heroes.

    But they are not the only ones brimming with excitement.

    Joining them in the crowd today is Scotland rugby international Cameron Redpath, who along with some team-mates currently training in Edinburgh for the forthcoming Rugby World Cup, will relish being at the national stadium as a fan, rather than a player.

    “We’ve got the day off so I will definitely be there,” said the Bath centre, who was in West Brom’s academy as a youngster before – in his words – he “got a bit older and clumsier and liked the contact too much so had to quit it for rugby!”.

    “I’ve watched them at Old Trafford a lot but never seen United in Scotland before. It should be great, I’m very excited. [Scotland flanker] Hamish Watson is a big Man United fan so he’s coming too - there are about 10 of us going in total."

    Having first joined the club at the age of seven, Marcus Rashford's stay will now be extended even further after signing a new five-year contract.

    The academy graduate's breakthrough came in 2016 when he scored two goals on his debut against title-chasing Arsenal.

    He has since gone on to make 359 appearances and scored 123 goals in all competitions.

    After a difficult 18 months, Rashford was rejuvenated under new manager Erik ten Hag last season, reaching his highest goal-scoring tally in a single campaign with 30 and becoming the first United player to reach that mark in 10 years.

    Despite recent rumours of Andre Onana undergoing his Manchester United as I type this, Fabrizio Romano, external has moved to dismiss these reports.

    Fear not, United fans, nothing is wrong with the deal, the goalkeeper has not yet arrived at Carrington.

    Romano reported: "Just for clarity — Andre Onana is not undergoing medical tests at Manchester United yet. There’s some delay on the original plan but it will happen later. He’s currently not at Carrington yet.

    "Again, no issues — it’s just about plan/travel/flights."

    Good afternoon from Murrayfield, where Manchester United have pitched up for their second pre-season match, against French side Lyon.

    Around 40,000 fans are expected at the 67,500-capacity home of Scottish rugby in Edinburgh, which is bathed in sunshine.

    United manager Erik ten Hag has again paired Lisandro Martinez - returning to match fitness after missing the latter stages of last season - and Raphael Varane, named captain for the second game running, in central defence.

    New signing Mason Mount makes a second straight start after his arrival from Chelsea, while Antony and Jadon Sancho also start.

    Marcus Rashford says he "couldn't be more excited for the future" after signing a new five-year contract with Manchester United.

    Speaking to the club website, the 25-year-old said: "I joined Manchester United as a seven-year-old boy with a dream. That same passion, pride, and determination to succeed still drives me every time I have the honour of wearing the shirt.

    "I've already had some amazing experiences at this incredible club, but there is still a lot more to achieve and I remain relentlessly determined to win more trophies in the years ahead.

    "As a United fan all my life, I know the responsibility that comes with representing this badge and feel the highs and lows as much as anyone. I can assure you that I will give everything to help the team reach the level we are capable of, and I can feel the same determination around the dressing room.

    "I couldn't be more excited for the future under this manager."

    Manchester United football director John Murtough added: "Ever since he joined our academy 18 years ago, Marcus has epitomised what it takes to succeed as a Manchester United player. He is a brilliant talent but also humble, dedicated and driven.

    "As he enters his prime years, we know there is still so much more to come from him, and we can see the hunger that Marcus feels to achieve the highest levels of success here at Manchester United.

    "Working with Erik ten Hag and his coaches is the perfect environment for Marcus to continue to develop into one of the best attacking players in the world."
