Manchester United Tour 2014: Manchester United 3-1 Real Madrid

When the last time you saw Ashley Young put that kind of performance - scoring twice against Spanish giant; Real Madrid. This is just the beginning of the impacts brought by Louis van Gaal at Old Trafford. This is the new United re-created by van Gaal after the previous bad season.

Manchester United booked a spot in the International Champions Cup final thanks to a 3-1 win over Real Madrid in front of the biggest-ever crowd for a football match in the United States.

Louis van Gaal fielded a strong team to face the European champions, who started with Gareth Bale, but left former Reds star Cristiano Ronaldo on the bench. Darren Fletcher skippered United once again and it was the Scot who had the game’s first sight of goal. Wayne Rooney’s corner on 14 minutes fell to Fletcher who took a touch to set himself before striking an effort past Iker Casillas’ left-hand post from just inside the box.

Young's double and Hernandez's after break touch provided Man Utd the deserved victory

The victory over Real Madrid is a very good motivation for the club to do better when the real competition starts. Plus, United, insofar won all pre-season matches. This indicates radical changes since the fall during Moyes' era. Up to this moment, we must say, bringing van Gaal in is one of the most brilliant decisions the club ever made. And we hope this is true until the end of the season.

Coming up next Monday Manchester United against arch-rival, Liverpool. Who will fare better?
