Manchester United vs Borussia Dortmund

At the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on Monday, Manchester United lost to Borussia Dortmund 3-2, bringing an end to their American tour. After moving from Manchester City to Dortmund in 2017, Sancho quickly became a fan favorite. He amassed 50 goals and 64 assists in all competitions his route to winning the DFL Supercop in 2019 and the DFB Pokal in 2021 before departing for Old Trafford. Only winners Bayern Munich scored more goals than Die Schwarzgelben last season (92 vs. 83), and they have continued to be a potent offensive force in preseason, most recently defeating San Diego Loyal 6-0. Sebastien Haller and Donyell Malen would start in Edin Terzic’s favoured front three instead of Youssoufa Moukoko and Julien Duranville, who were all involved in Friday’s goals but might be rested. It’s possible that Marcel Sabitzer, who just transferred from Bayern to Dortmund via a loan with United, may make his unofficial debut. Emre Can, who took over for Marco Reus as captain, will lead the squad out. Under Erik ten Hag, United placed third in the Premier League while Dortmund finished second in the Bundesliga. With 11 outings, seven of which were starts, Sabitzer contributed to their victory, but Mason Mount, who just came from Chelsea, has taken his spot in the midfield.

Heaton successfully gathered a strong drive from Adeyemi that threatened again, and when more opportunities presented themselves,Kobel deflected Christian Eriksen’s powerful free kick away. Although the Reds were well in the lead, they suffered a swift double punch shortly before halftime. First, Malen took advantage of a fortunate rebound in the area to volley home from close range, and a minute later, Victor Lindelof could only clear the ball as far as Marcel Sabitzer, an ex-Loanee of United, who then feed Malen to slip the ball past Heaton. THE SECOND HALF ENDS WITH AN AMUSING CONCLUSION Andre Onana, who was making his second appearance for Manchester United after taking over for Heaton at halftime, was almost immediately had to make a quick reaction stop from Sebastien Haller.With 20 minutes remaining, the German team regained the lead when Marco Reus crossed for Moukoko to score despite Luke Shaw’s best efforts.
