Mason Mount shines as the creative spark in Stockholm, while Leny Yoro impresses at right-back despite a frustrating first-half defeat against the clinical La Liga giants.
After fixtures against Wrexham and Rosenborg last month, Manchester United's third pre-season fixture was against La Liga giants Atletico Madrid in Stockholm, Sweden, in the annual Snapdragon Cup.
The tie saw Joshua Zirkzee dropped for Amad, while Bryan Mbeumo played up front with Shea Lacey in the middle, although it was Atleti who took an early lead as Arnau Ortiz's cross flew over everyone's head and nestled in Tom Heaton's net.
United had a flurry of chances in the opening 30 minutes with Mbeumo, Amad, and Leny Yoro unable to convert, although some of the football on display looked fantastic.
At the end of the first half, United trailed by one goal, but definitely were the side with more confidence.
