Manchester United have completed their pre-season fixtures, finishing with a 1-1 draw against Fiorentina, eventually winning 5-4 on penalties.
The game was a little bit more flat than United’s previous games in pre-season, but as with all the pre-season games so far, there were positives to take.
Bryan Mbeumo had a good game, creating four big chances, the most on the pitch.
He looked to really utilise his left foot for inswinging deliveries , which may combine well with new signing Benjamin Sesko.
United and Ruben Amorim will now transfer their focus to the opening pre-season game against Arsenal, where they’ll hope to get off to a good start in what promises to be an intriguing fixture.

Manchester United are actively pursuing further reinforcements before the transfer window closes, with a clear focus on strengthening their midfield and goalkeeping options.
Carlos Baleba has emerged as a strong candidate for the midfield role, but securing his signature from Brighton is expected to come at a hefty price.
Meanwhile, United’s search for a new goalkeeper is gaining momentum, with direct meetings being held with PSG’s Gianluigi Donnarumma.
The Italian keeper appears to be heading toward an exit from Paris, making him a prime target for United as they look to bolster their squad depth and quality between the posts ahead of the demanding season.
Now after United’s victory over Fiorentina, Donnarumma has liked a post from the Official Manchester United Instagram account, signalling his fondness of the club.
The post was celebrating United’s victory and represents a serious signal that a move for the goalkeeper could be viable in the near future, with Amorim a huge fan of the goalkeeper.
Donnarumma is seen as one of the best goalkeepers in the world and would be a huge improvement in goal for United after Andre Onana struggled last season and both parties are keen for a deal to get done.
