FULL-TIME: Manchester United 1-0 Inter Milan (Greenwood)

A superb finish from 17-year-old Mason Greenwood gives United victory in this International Champions Cup game. Solskjaer's side dominated and should have scored more. Both sides that were sent out (with 10 changes on the hour mark) looked good, with the youngsters who came out second getting the goal and looking lively.

90+1' Four minutes added time and United make their final sub. Tahith Chong comes off with a small injury after some heavy tackles. Angel Gomes replaces him.

87' Skriniar booked after a cynical challenge on 19-year-old Tahith Chong who flew past him. Greenwood and Chong have been brilliant since coming on.

79' Stunning cross from Tahith Chong from the left flank. Greenwood comes storming in from the edge of the back, comes across his marker and uses his left to direct the shot across his body but his cruelly hits the bar.

GOAL: Manchester United 1-0 Inter Milan (Greenwood)

75' Two in two for 17-year-old Mason Greenwood with an absolutely fantastic finish. A two-footed starlet ready for first team football. Young's free-kick is parried into Greenwood's path by Handanovic. He cuts onto his left and finishes spectacularly with his right. The fact he can use both feet and generate so much power without any backlift is magnificent, and just like Robin van Persie.

70' It's still 0-0 somehow. Both sides have threatened, though United have done so more frequently. And despite the wholesale changes for United and a couple for Inter, it's still very much an entertaining game.

69' Big penalty shout for United. Tahith Chong with lovely agility and is fouled. It looks like a penalty but we're yet to see a replay. Referee unmoved.

64' Clumsy work in the box from Skriniar as Pereira tumbles over. He asks for the penalty. He was certainly going for it.

62' Manchester United are replacing almost their entire side. In fact, maybe it is everyone. 

The new line-up will be: Romero; Dalot, Bailly, Jones, Young; Fred, McTominay; Pereira, Mata, Chong; Greenwood.

59' United are about to bring on a huge number of subs as we near the hour mark. McTominay, Dalot, Chong, Greenwood, Garner and maybe a couple of others.

56' Lindelof has come off for Phil Jones. It's his hamstring. Unlikely to be too serious but no risks taken in pre-season.

55' Stunning pace from Aaron Wan-Bissaka. He loses the ball but then shows his brilliant acceleration to move in front of the Inter forward and his spindly legs wrap a foot around the ball. Fantastic.

Lindelof down

54' United defender Victor Lindelof has just asked to be subbed off after going down. Worrying for Solskjaer.

53' ​​​​​​​Wan-Bissaka now clears off the line for United as Inter have their own chance to come close to taking the lead. Remains 0-0 somehow.

51' This has turned into a second-by-second update such is the incessant nature of United's pressure. Pogba has just shaken off three players and struck a beautiful shot to the left of Handanovic's goal.

51' And the chances keep coming. Matic strikes the post with a good header from the corner. United must score soon.

50' Another big chance for United. Wan-Bissaka cuts a cross back into the six-yard box but it's just too far in front of three United players. Corner for the Reds now.

49' United should be leading now. Fantastic trickery from Martial, he pokes it off to his right as he comes to the edge of the box, Pogba dummies to let Dan James run in and shoot but his effort could have been a lot better.

Second half underway

45' We're back underway. Inter Milan have brought on Ivan Perisic, the winger who was heavily linked with United two summers ago.

HALF-TIME

HT: Manchester United have dominated proceedings and carved out a few openings. They're looking to press high and counter quickly. It's positive. But no goals yet. Inter looking less fit, which is unsurprising given this is their first pre-season fixture.

Harry RobinsonLive reporter

45+1' Superb play from United. Lindelof receives the ball facing his own goal but turns around to play it into Matic's feet. The Serb delivers a nice pass over to the left, moving United across the halfway line. Pogba receives it and almost pulls off a fantastic through ball but Handanovic comes charging out of his goal just before Rashford can reach it.

44' United are breaking well against Inter, a team further behind in their pre-season schedule and so not quite up to pace yet. Pogba comes storming out of his half with a lovely turn and sparks the counter, but nothing comes of it.

41' Lovely play from United. Martial receiving the pass off Jesse Lingard but Samir Handanovic makes himself big at the Frenchman's feet and blocks his effort for a corner. Pogba misses a good heading chance.

Wan-Bissaka stat

STAT: Wan-Bissaka has attempted eight tackles during pre-season, with a 100% success rate.

Pressing United

37' Remains 0-0 and Wan-Bissaka is looking unbeatable at right-back for United. The Reds are also pressing well, something that we expected after an attempt at it during Solskjaer's brilliant start at manager. Injuries put a stop to that but he'll be hoping pre-season can prepare his side of that style of play next season.

Solskjaer’s team coming together

The starting XI is beginning to look like something that could be replicated against Chelsea on the first day of the season. Matic and Pogba in midfield and Rashford with Martial up front. No youngsters start, though many will come on in the second half.

Will Manchester United's XI start to show itself?

In the two games thus far, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has gone with two completely different line-ups either side of half-time, giving opportunities to almost his entire travelling squad.

Having played twice in Australia, we may now start to see the United boss leaving on players for longer than 45 minutes as he starts to shape his team for the Premier League season which kicks off in three weeks for the Reds against Chelsea.

Inter Milan's pre-season plans

Conte's men have a busy schedule after facing United, and it lasts just as long as United's, finishing later due to the Premier League's early start in comparison to Serie A.

They'll play Italian rivals Juventus, French giants Paris Saint-Germain and England's Tottenham Hotspur as well as Valencia of Spain.

Inter Milan's pre-season so far

While United have played two pre-season games already, this is the first for Antonio Conte's Inter Milan side.

They are at a very different stage of pre-season with the first couple of games being the most important in terms of fitness. 

With that in mind, United should be able to take control of the game against Inter.

Solskjaer: Lukaku won't play

Romelu Lukaku will not play amid Inter interest

A storyline that may not have been predicted when this fixture was announced some months ago but one that is now high profile is that of Romelu Lukaku. The Belgian striker has been at Manchester United for two years after joining from Everton for £75 million.

Now, Inter are interested in taking him off United's hands. Though many fans have become disillusioned by Lukaku's goals or lack thereof, he remains a very good striking option and the readiness that United seem to have to get rid of him is surprising given how many issues their team has.

Inter are reportedly bidding less than United's current valuation of Lukaku which is around £80 million.

Manchester United 4-0 Leeds United

It was an emphatic and comfortable victory for United in their last game against Leeds. First-half goals came from two academy graduate strikers in Marcus Rashford and the lesser-known Mason Greenwood.

The 17-year-old Greenwood netted his first senior goal for the club in a lovely move on the right-hand side. Pogba threaded a ball through to new signing Wan-Bissaka and Greenwood tapped home the subsequent cross.

Phil Jones and Anthony Martial scored in a slightly less exciting second half, but it was overall an entertaining affair played in front of a big atmosphere as two old rivals faced off.
