Manchester United continued their strong pre-season form with an impressive 4-1 victory over Bournemouth in Chicago, maintaining their perfect record in the Premier League summer series. Despite the absence of new signings Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo , the Red Devils delivered a confident display that has fans buzzing with excitement.
The result keeps United as the only side with a perfect record in the tournament, as their strong pre-season form in the United States continues to impress. The victory builds on the 2-1 win over West Ham in their opening fixture. If United beat Everton in their final game then they will lift the trophy.
Rasmus Hjlund and Patrick Dorgu fired Manchester United into a 2-0 lead by half-time, before second-half strikes from Amad Diallo and 19-year-old Ethan Williams wrapped up a dominant 4-0 advantage.
Although United saw more of the ball and created several chances, their efforts were undone late on by a Matthijs de Ligt own goal, deflecting in David Brooks cross to give Bournemouth a consolation. As promised, Reuben Amorim used the match to experiment with his setup notably deploying Bruno Fernandes in a deeper midfield role alongside Casemiro, offering fans a glimpse of a potential tactical shift in the squad .
