An academy graduate has scored or assisted every goal of Manchester United’s pre-season tour thus far.
Andreas Pereira freed Anthony Martial to score Thursday’s opener against Tottenham in Shanghai before Angel Gomes produced a superb finish to seal a 2-1 win.
It continued an exciting trend for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side with youngsters included in the travelling squad eagerly taking their chances to impress.
Marcus Rashford and James Garner were on the score sheet as United got their tour off to a winning start against Perth Glory in Australia on 13 July.
Rashford was on the score sheet again four days later against Leeds United with 17-year-old Mason Greenwood also scoring his first goal for the club.
Later in that contest, Phil Jones powered home a header from Pereira’s corner kick before Martial converted a penalty after Tahith Chong was brought down in the penalty area with United running out 4-0 winners.
Greenwood enhanced his burgeoning reputation with a superb winner against Inter Milan in Singapore on Saturday with Thursday’s goals against Spurs extending a remarkable return for Solskjaer’s youngsters.
