Man United Beat West Ham in US Tour Opener

Manchester United opened their U.S. pre-season tour with a 2-1 win over West Ham at MetLife Stadium, with Bruno Fernandes scoring twice and Jarrod Bowen netting for the Hammers. New signings Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo were named in United's squad, but Mbeumo missed the match as he works on match fitness after his transfer from Brentford. Manager Ruben Amorim praised Fernandes and Cunha, and stated Mbeumo is likely to play in the tour's final friendly. Four United players, including Jadon Sancho and Antony, remain exiled from the first team as they seek transfers, but could be reintegrated if moves do not occur. Key players Andre Onana and Lisandro Martinez were absent through injury but traveled with the squad. The tour is part of the Premier League Summer Series, aimed at building fitness and integrating new signings before the 2025/26 season.
