Still, it shows we have plenty of options for rotation in the forward positions, with Erik commenting in his Thursday press conference that he feels Donny van de Beek could also occupy an attacking midfield – and perhaps even a false no.9 – role. The Ivorian stood out when fielded there in the Liverpool clash, as he set up Facundo Pellistri’s goal – our fourth of the game – but Marcus soon swapped with him, latching on to Eric Bailly's through ball to score our third. The signing of the 35-year-old former United winger has been headline news in Australia all week and even though he’d only travelled Down Under earlier this week and trained twice with his new team-mates, Nani – who stopped to grab a quick word with MUTV before kick-off – was named on the Victory bench. Eight of the 10 replacements had also played in Bangkok, but for Ethan Laird and Tahith Chong, it was a chance to get some minutes in the legs and time on the pitch for United after spending much of the recent time out on loan. For the second friendly in a row, Erik opted to change his entire outfield line-up at the break, with Rashford captaining a younger and more inexperienced side in the second half. The Reds were behind for much of the first half, following a shock early Victory opener, but a couple of goals before half-time from Scott McTominay and Anthony Martial put us in the driving seat.

AM: Donny van de Beek - 4/10 - An opportunity that passed him by in truth. Forced an own goal with a driving run late on. Didn't look out of place but wasn't unduly tested in truth. Another brilliant burst forward and this time got an assist with a good pass. It was another impromptu forward charge from defender Eric Bailly - who had starred against Liverpool - which led to the third goal. Dazzling feet and always willing to take on his man. Some nice passing to open up the pitch. Bit of luck with a massively deflected strike flying in. Reacted well when Bailly scuffed a pass but had little else to do. Pre-assist for the goal. Then, Diogo Dalot's cut-back was diverted into Anthony Martial's feet by Anthony Elanga, and the Frenchman controlled and finished from mere yards out. The forward made no mistake, slotting low beyond Tom Heaton in the United goal.

The Argentine was pictured alongside his agent on a private jet seemingly headed to Manchester, where he is set to undergo a medical and sign his contract. The 24-year-old has been consistently linked with United and Ten Hag has now got his top defensive target. The Dutch side initially remained firm and insisted that their best players would not join Ten Hag at Old Trafford, but have now reneged on their stance.

Christian Eriksen has completed a move to Manchester United on a free transfer as Erik ten Hag continues to improve his squad ahead of the 2022-23 season.

Having spoken with him and learned more about his vision and the way he wants the team to play, I am even more excited for the future. The move comes just over a year after Eriksen suffered a cardiac arrest at Euro 2020. He is a player that Ten Hag knows well from his time at Ajax, and there a number of other stars with ties to the Eredivisie giants that the Dutch tactician has his eye on. While struggling to tempt a right-back to Old Trafford, Ten Hag has completed the signing of Tyrell Malacia, with the highly-rated 22-year left-back having completed his switch from Feyenoord. He has been handed a three-year contract by the Red Devils, with that deal set to take him through to the summer of 2025.

Lisandro Martinez's move from Ajax to Manchester United is nearing completion, he'll cost around €55 million.

Despite his reasonably small stature (he stands around 5’9″), Martinez is great in the air, tackles brilliantly and can play passes as good as any midfielder, something we touched on HERE. For a club of their stature, Europa League football is simply not good enough and the onus will be on Ten Hag to guide the team back into the Champions League for 2023/24. Martinez will be United’s third signing of the summer after the arrivals of Tyrell Malacia from Feyenoord and Christian Eriksen on a free transfer.

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.
