United played their first pre-season warm-up game in the early hours of Tuesday morning (16th) and came out on the wrong end of the stick. They lost extra time on the road and lost 0-1 to Lossingborough. The Red Devils feared that they would have lost by a goal if they hadn't blocked their opponents' shots on the goal box four times. While United lost the game, midfielder Kasmiru suffered a rough "closing down the mountain foot" in the shovel of the opponent, but fortunately no serious injury, finally tied up the misfortune of the great fortune.
With many of their key players still not back in the squad having participated in the Europa League and Copa America, United came into this battle with only five regulars - Rashford, Monty, Kasimiru, Wumbishakar, and Shonny Ioans - and with players freshly shaken and clearly out of form, were at a disadvantage after the game.
United almost conceded in 11 minutes. Luckily for Lossingborough, he was ruled offside. As he turned his head, Kasmirou was hit near the knee by a flying tackle from his opponent Niemiec and immediately fell to the ground in agony. After treatment, he was able to continue playing. United are said to be planning to sell the 32-year-old Brazilian. If there is a three-way tie, it is bound to disrupt the transfer plans.
After Lossingborough, the attacks came in waves, with Popham's shot bouncing off the post and another powerful shot hitting the post. After the change of sides, United made 10 player changes at a time but it was still no better. Keeper Vidic became the busiest player in the crowd. Lossingborough midfielder Pokillet was shot by Vidic and then became the center post. After Federico Richen broke through the side, his foot also became a center post. You could see that the United defense was nervous.
Despite four goalmouth deflections, United couldn't hold on for three minutes of added time, and Noah Holm scored the only goal of the match.
Following United's loss, they will play their second warm-up game in Glasgow on Saturday night (20) before embarking on a wander. The "American Tour", which includes Arsenal, Betis and Liverpool, will take on Manchester City on the evening of August 10th.
