MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Manchester United's bright pre-season form under new manager Erik ten Hag continued with a 4-1 win over Australian side Melbourne Victory in a friendly on Friday.
Having thrashed a flat Liverpool 4-0 in Bangkok on Tuesday, United shrugged off an early Victory goal with a two-goal burst late in the first half.
For all the goals, it was a largely workmanlike display from United, who made heavy weather of the four-times A-League champions for parts of the contest in front of a heaving crowd of more than 70,000. Anthony Martial slotted United's second in injury time from close range after a neat flick from Anthony Elanga.
"Obviously the boys are really happy and they're training really hard and obviously that comes with it, the joy of playing for United and a new coach as well."
