NATHAN SALT AT CROKE PARK: Manchester United edged out rivals Leeds United on penalties to win the pre-season Boyle Sports Cup inside a sold out Croke Park. While the shootout - which almost didn't happen due to a deluge of young pitch invaders at full-time - ultimately separated the sides‚ both managers will have taken plenty from this pulsating clash under the lights in Dublin. Bryan Mbeumo's audition to be Manchester United's starting striker for the opening game of the season was strengthened with another smart display‚ while Brenden Aaronson finished off a brilliant move to level things up at 1-1 in the first half.
