Manchester United drew with Middlesbrough in the Premier League International Cup to clinch top spot in Group B and qualify for the knockout stages of the competition.

The visitors could also progress as one of the two best second-placed sides as they finished level on seven points with United, but Nicky Butt's side enjoyed a superior goal difference. After Aynsley Pears, son of ex-United and Boro keeper Stephen, saved Josh Harrop's first-half penalty, things really livened up after the break.
