Manchester United only fielded a B team in a friendly match against fourth-tier Wrexham in San Diego. The U21 players and veteran Johnny Evans have been trusted by Erik ten Hag. However, when the pillars were absent, the "Red Devils" were exposed and quickly collapsed.
Man United's defense appeared confused in the situations of fighting the ball and opened up many scoring opportunities for Wrexham. In the 29th and 36th minutes, Ten Hag's team conceded goals, all of which came from suspensions on the right wing.
It was not until the 6th minute of injury time of the first half that M.U scored a goal to reduce the score with a goal by Marc Jurado. However, this was also a rare bright spot for Man United when they continued to let Wrexham dominate in the second half.
In the 47th minute, Man United had to play with one less player when captain Daniel Gore was sent off after a malicious tackle on Andy Cannon. From here, Ten Hag's youth team showed signs of decline.
As a result, Man United conceded another goal in the 69th minute, after an easy combination by Wrexham. In the end, M.U lost 1-3 to 4th-tier Wrexham and also had their first defeat in pre-season.
Of course, this is not a bad result for the "Red Devils", it is even a good opportunity for young players to gain experience. Tomorrow, July 27, Man United is expected to field the starting lineup for the friendly match against Real Madrid.
