Barcelona 1-3 Manchester United: Rooney, Lingard and Januzaj strike to see off Champions League holders

Manchester United eased to a victory over Barcelona in the International Champions Cup on Saturday, earning its third straight win in the preseason competition.

Manchester United made it three wins from three in the International Champions Cup by beating European champion Barcelona 3-1 on Saturday.

Wayne Rooney, Jesse Lingard and Adnan Januzaj struck the decisive goals for Louis van Gaal's side in the Santa Clara heat, putting them top of the table in the friendly competition.

Rooney's well-placed header after eight minutes put United in front, and only the right arm of Marc-Andre ter Stegen stopped Ashley Young doubling their advantage.
