Winners and losers from Man Utd's win over Perth Glory in friendly

Marcus Rashford and teenager James Garner got Manchester United's pre-season tour off to a winning start, with new boys Daniel James and Aaron Wan-Bissaka showing promise in a comfortable 2-0 victory against Perth Glory.

Rashford finished nicely before 17-year-old Garner came off the bench to score in the win at the mammoth Optus Stadium.

Romelu Lukaku, Victor Lindelof, Eric Bailly and Lee Grant were not available for the match due to slight niggles, but Solskjaer was still able to name entirely different XIs in each half.

The deadlock was broken in the 60th minute as Pogba's flick found Rashford to hit a lovely low finish on the turn into the far corner.

Garner then rifled a low effort past the Perth goalkeeper from 20 yards in front of 50,206 fans.

Here, we look at the winners and losers from the clash Down Under...

WINNERS

Jesse Lingard: Looked sharp and lively in his first-half outing. Got stuck in with tackles, linked up play and forced a fine save from the keeper with a long-range shot.

Daniel James : Assured on his United debut, the £15million signing from Swansea made some impressive runs in behind the defence on the left, before switching to the right.

James Garner : Scored with an unstoppable low right-foot shot with his first touch in the 84 minute after coming on for Luke Shaw. How to make an immediate impact.

LOSERS

Anthony Martial : Struggled throughout the first-half, losing possession too frequently and being caught offside on several occasions. Big season coming up and needs to make more of an impact.

Nemanja Matic: Looked ponderous in the first-half alongside Andreas Pereira, with United showing greater urgency and purpose when Paul Pogba and Scott McTominay came on.

Lee Grant : Didn't get a run-out, with Sergio Romero and Joel Pereira each given 45 minutes. With four keepers now at United, Grant, yet to play a competitive game, looks likely to leave this summer.
