The result leaves united unbeaten in the three games they played in the United States, following victories 2-1 and 4-1 respectively against West Ham and Bournemouth.
However, it was the game that all fans of United wanted to see, because the two large recruits – Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha – were aligned together for the very first time.
The two have considerably impressed. What Murim will love even more is that they have played even without the focal figure of a natural center. In this case, Cunha was the central center.
The Red Devils had a verve on their attack game in the opening exchanges, while the fresh faces have linked to the captain of the Bruno Fernandes club-operating further as one of the No10 in the 3-4-2-1 of Amorim-and Amad Diallo, which was flying on the right side of Wing-Back.

Cunha and Mbuemo have shown neat touches to reconstruct complex game passages, and this will greatly encourage Amorim with the Premier League season at two weeks.
United went before here thanks to the penalty of Fernandes, which stems from one of these offers and the fast GOS between the three before.
Diallo was triggered right by Fernandes, and the Ivorian intelligently waited for the contact of the desperate James Tarkowski, who shot him.
The captain of the United club was not mistaken, caressing in the lower corner, but it was not before his team was treated an almighty fear, while Jake O’Brien shaken the post only six meters.

The Irish defender had the objective of his mercy after James Garner, formerly of United, tested Altay Bayindir with a free plunge kick of the scope, and the assistant goalkeeper was adorned in a dangerous area, leaving O’Brien with what should have been a simple rebounded rebound. United survived and punished his opponents for this a few moments later.
However, Everton was back in terms of level when they put in place an excellent decision, which showed some of the things of United Armed armor.
Manuel Ugarte was quickly converged by Vitalii Mykolenko while Uruguayan was paved on the edge of his own box, and the ball fell for Idrissa Gueye, who showed the head and chose Iliman Ndiaye Ghosting in the post from afar with a magnificent cross.
At the break, Amorim decided to manage the minutes of Mbeumo and removed Cameroon for Patrick Dorgu, deploying Diallo in the attacker midfielder and moving Diogo Dalot on the right.

This, however, slowed down the petile of United which they had before, and the Red Devils seemed a little more mechanical and robotic in their attack game afterwards.
That said, it was one of the competitors of Mbeumo for once of these two places No10 – Mason Mount – who restored United’s advance with a sublime curler in the most distant corner after a beautiful interchange with Fernandes.
But United was covered once again, but this time, in bizarre circumstances.
Fernandes expelled Ndiaye on the half-chemin line and the pair was involved in a fight as the game went. The rear right of the replacement, Tyler Onyango, rolled on the side and looked for a teammate in the middle with a cup, and the Paradise and Diallo of Ayden in recovery both had keys which helped the balloon awkwardly at the back of the net.

Despite the frustrations by the result, Amorim can take a lot of heart of performance on its side, especially in the first period. Mbeumo and Cunha looked like real threats, and the best part for the Portuguese is that they already look comfortable by wearing the heavy goods vehicle of the plain shirt.
