Kristiansund 0 Man Utd 1: Juan Mata penalty secures win as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's son Noah becomes super-sub

Manchester United sealed a late 1-0 victory over Kristiansund in Norway as the Solskjaer family added another super-sub to their ranks.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's son Noah has risen through the Kristiansund youth ranks, and the 19-year-old came on in the last few minutes of the match to face his father's side.

The Red Devils had dominated the contest in Oslo, and got a deserved winner as Juan Mata won and scored an injury-time penalty to ensure the club maintained their 100 per cent pre-season record.

United enjoyed 73 per cent of possession and had 32 shots to Kristiansund's five, with some wayward finishing perhaps the only negative for Solskjaer in the Norwegian capital.

Marcus Rashford, Scott McTominay, Jesse Lingard, Anthony Martial, Daniel James, Tahith Chong and Fred all went close for United as Sondre Sorli missed a golden chance at the other end, but Mata was felled by Andreas Vaikla before stepping up to net from 12 yards in injury time.
