Florian Sotoca had put the visitors ahead at Old Trafford with an effort from the edge of the centre circle in the first half, before Marcus Rashford, Anthony and Casemiro scored in the second period to turn the game around.
The result meant Andre Onana and Mason Mount enjoyed winning starts as the pair made their first home appearances since joining the Reds, and our latest summer signing Rasmus Højlund will look forward to doing the same soon, after being presented to the crowd before kick-off.

SOTOCA SUCKER PUNCH
A lively tempo from the off saw Onana make a simple save from Florian Sotoca in the opening minutes – a first for our new stopper at the Theatre of Dreams – before a dangerous run cutting in from the left by Alejandro Garnacho was only stopped by a last-ditch sliding block by Lens defender Jonathan Gradit at the other end.
