While Manchester United new boys Romelu Lukaku and Victor Lindelof made their anticipated debuts in the second half, another United player was also hoping to make an impression on Jose Mourinho.

What a performance. Is a potential Pogba and Pereira partnership forming?
The pair combined brilliantly and will give Mourinho some selection dilemmas ahead of the new season.
While comparing his performance to Paul Scholes, the United faithfuls also hope he gets some game time next season.
