PHOENIX -- Manchester United allayed Jose Mourinho's fears about how difficult they might find their tour of the United States by earning a 1-1 draw against Club America on their opening night.
The Mexican side, further along in their summer preparation with the league season due to start on Sunday, took the lead through Henry Martin in the second half before Juan Mata got the equaliser after a terrific cross from 18-year-old debutant Tahith Chong.
Mason Greenwood, 16, also came on in the second half to make his first senior appearance.
Despite Mourinho's suggestion United could lose by "some not beautiful numbers" on this tour with a number of players absent following the World Cup, his team started brightly at the University of Phoenix Stadium.
