Who was our Man of the Match against Athletic Club?
Facundo Pellistri left it late at the Aviva Stadium, as the Reds drew 1-1 with Athletic Club in our final pre-season outing of summer 2023.
Nico Williams's first-half strike had given the Basque side the lead after a defensive mix-up at the back for United, but the Reds battled well and got our reward thanks to Facundo's 93rd-minute leveller.
With plenty of positive performances across the board, fans have since been voting for who they feel warranted the Man of the Match accolade.
Highlights: United v Athletic Club
This bitesize highlights round-up includes all the key action from United's pre-season meeting with Athletic Club...
Jadon Sancho's trickery and clever link-up play with Donny van de Beek in the first half caused Athletic Club problems early on, with the United no.25 unlucky not to open the scoring after just three minutes, after Unai Simon made a smart stop with his feet.
Dan Gore was partnered with Christian Eriksen in the heart of our midfield and also put on a strong showing, anchoring between both the defence and attack impressively, while occupying some tidy space to help keep the Reds moving swiftly.
Hannibal was introduced as a second-half substitute in Dublin and was a livewire after the break. He also played an important part in the move which saw Athletic Club's Aitor Paredes given his marching orders, leaving the Reds 25 minutes to go at the 10-men La Liga outfit.
However, there was one runaway winner for those who cast their nominations over on ManUtd.com and in the United App, with that man collecting nearly three-quarters of the votes...
After latching on to Harry Maguire's knock down inside the area, Facundo took all the time he needed to smash home the equaliser, sparking wild scenes inside the predominantly United-supporting Aviva Stadium.
The 21-year-old was subsequently mobbed by his team-mates and was brilliant throughout the encounter as a whole as he slotted back in on the right side of attack, after a few appearances down the left.
Pellistri levels with the last kick!

We hope to see much more of the Uruguayan's skillset across the upcoming season, as Ten Hag's side once again prepare to do battle on four separate fronts.
Congratulations to Facundo on claiming the award!
