1 hour 30 mins to KO: Manchester United providing an early glimpse of the stadium. Harry Maguire starts and reclaims the captain's armband. Fair chance a completely different team will start the second half. Victory conceded a league-low 25 goals from 26 games last season in the A-League Men. The Brazilian scored a stunning chip last time out against Liverpool but this one never looked destined for goal. 34th minute: Martial beats a number of players in the final third but eventually gets overwhelmed in the box. Frustration building for the Red Devils. Not using the width well enough early on. The resulting corner is claimed easily enough by Victory's keeper. Ten Hag won't be happy with that first-half showing though with his side often too slow in the final third and looking fragile when defending Victory's counter attacks. Marcus Rashford is now donning the captain's armband for the Red Devils. 43rd minute: Goal! McTominay pulls United level via a deflected effort.

Manchester United are in Australia for the next stop of their pre-season tour to take on Melbourne Victory this morning.The Red Devils made a winning.

Despite winning 4-0 against Liverpool in his first game in charge, Erik ten Hag's line-up vs Melbourne Victory was scrutinised by fans on social media.

With so many games to come in a short time-frame, there will be opportunities for players on stand-by including new signing Tyrell Malacia. Diogo Dalot and Luke Shaw are the two full-backs. Jadon Sancho, Fred, Anthony Martial and Facundo Pellistri scored during a pulsating 4-0 victory at the Rajamangala Stadium.

The Ironbridge Rocket was also fantastic in the air, dispute his diminutiveness. It was his leap which saw him convert to a centre-back from a winger. Being 5ft 9in didn’t stop Cannavaro winning the Ballon d’Or. In fact, he is one of only three defenders to claim the Ballon d’Or after leading Italy to World Cup glory in 2006. Patrolling Wolves’ defence for 20 years between 1939 and 1959 – 13 of them spent in England’s back line too – Wright was almost written off as a youngster when he was deemed ‘too small’ by Major Frank Buckley during a trial. You must have confidence,” he wrote in The Players’ Tribune. “As a defender, you can be many shapes and sizes. Often, in terms of where we press, Busquets and I are practically in the same line. The former Liverpool star had played in defence at Anfield but at right-back. So Mascherano was shifted back – and stayed there for the next six seasons. Mascherano was only supposed to be temping at centre-back, when Barcelona needed cover for Puyol and Eric Abidal in 2011. Baresi, the defender the great Paolo Maldini saw as “a role model, a reference”, spent his entire 20-year career at AC Milan at least one step ahead of opponents. The former Barcelona captain was one of the game’s great leaders. Puyol was never the most sophisticated passer but Frank Rijkaard and Pep Guardiola recognised that even the greatest teams need great defenders.

Much debate was had about his future but Sir Alex made a decisive move for a player who had grown up with the enemy at Liverpool. The fact he took on Cristiano Ronaldo's no.7 jersey showed the manager was not worried about any of that, saying: "He'll give us experience in the penalty box. The decision disappointed Bhoys boss Martin O'Neill but Sir Alex had been impressed with somebody who caught his eye when he was believed to be scouting Vincent Kompany during a Champions League tie with Anderlecht at Parkhead. "Our relationship with Celtic has always been a good one," stressed Ferguson. "We took Brian McClair in exactly the same end-of-contract circumstances before the Bosman ruling came in. We tried to get Karim Benzema but, as soon as that dropped through, we went for Michael." That was evident early in his Reds career, when he scored a memorable injury-time winner in the Manchester derby, and he finished with 17 goals in 52 outings, including a strike in the League Cup final against Aston Villa. He also helped United win the league in 2010/11, something he had failed to manage at Anfield. However, he was later allowed to join Middlesbrough on a free transfer.Every pre-season game, including Tuesday's match against Crystal Palace, will be shown Fortunately, his output matched his ego and his signing proved a masterstroke, as he led the line superbly under Jose Mourinho. Like Cavani, he had left PSG and wanted to taste English football for the first time. "We were desperate to get him when Peter left because he was here when he was a lad but couldn't get a work permit," said the boss. The late Irish midfielder, who sadly passed away in 2018, failed to renew his contract with Celtic and signed a pre-agreement instead with United in January 2004, as was permitted under the Bosman ruling. However, injuries hampered his second campaign and he left this summer, with 19 goals in 59 matches to his name. The Dane's were big shoes to fill but Ferguson was convinced in the new man after agreeing a four-year contract. With Dean Henderson loaned to Nottingham Forest for the 2022/23 campaign, he could be hoping for more first-team exposure this term. Blanc played 75 times for the Reds and helped the team win the Premier League title in 2002/03. The stylish France international had been on United's radar for so long, even after appearing against Alex Ferguson's team for Montpellier during our successful European Cup Winners' Cup run in 1991.

The Ajax defender has jetted into the UK after boarding a plane last night, and is expected to seal the formalities before completing his Old Trafford move.

Andy Mitten is travelling through Asia while covering Manchester United's tour, stopping at various points along the way to speak to fans.

The Spanish Super Cup and the Italian Super Cup have been here. It was a dream to stand in the stadium. They have a plan and they are building. They have already invested sensibly and in a rather low-key way rather than splashing the cash and only buying big names like some thought they would. My friends at school focused on Saudi football and the rivalries here, and I like Al-Ittihad. Italian football was more popular than English football then. I wonder if Jose Mourinho would have had the same career if Porto had lost and he hadn’t won the Champions League. I also wonder where United would be if they’d stayed with Mourinho, a good manager for Manchester United who wasn’t backed properly. Adam: My greatest moment was Camp Nou in 1999 and watching that here — I remember those final few minutes like it was a film. Aziz: Twitter. I followed other United fans and journalists. It was hard to watch football here when I was that age. People like the team which was on top when they are young or with a star player. Adam: I’ve followed United since the ’96-97 season, when I was 10. I started to watch United regularly in 2001.
