It was an exciting 90-min enounter at Old Trafford between EPL kings United and Serie A champions Inter Milan as the Italians finished the night victorious in front of a friendly record crowd of 73,738 in attendance.
2 goals from new Inter signing David Suazo and another from Sweden's golden boy, Zlatan Ibrahimovic served as a reminder to United staff and players that despite the riches of talent in attack and midfield, the Devils defence can still be vulnerable and left exposed at times at the back.
However, they did manage to put in a better performance in the second half as an own goal from Adriano made the match a tighter affair. A goal from Rooney earlier on was one of the bright sparks of the match for United as they will definitely see this as the first real test in pre-season despite recently concluding the Far East tour of Asia.
Next up, United will be in action against Doncaster Rovers tomorrow with new signings Anderson, Nani and Hargreaves all penciled in to the team sheet. This will be the last match before the curtain-raiser against Chelsea in the FA Community Shield on Sunday.
