* Against a not-so-difficult opponent, MU took the initiative to control the match and created many dangerous opportunities. Newcomer Mason Mount was sent onto the field from the start by coach Erik ten Hag.

However, it was not until the 67th minute that MU broke the deadlock thanks to a goal by Noam Emeran after a pass from Hansen-Aaroen.

In the 80th minute, the "red half" of Manchester doubled the gap. This time, it was Noam Emeran's turn to pass the ball intelligently into the penalty area for Joe Hugill to break through and finish past Leeds goalkeeper Klaesson.

The 2-0 victory over Leeds, although not outstanding, is a favorable start for coach Erik ten Hag to continue testing many options to prepare for the new season. According to the plan, on July 19, MU will have another friendly match with Lyon before starting the tour in the US.

* L'Equipe quoted PSG's former sporting director Leonardo as saying that for the good of the Parisian club, Mbappe must leave no matter what. By pampering and giving Mbappe expensive contracts, PSG has gradually become weak in front of the former Monaco star. That is why they are struggling to resolve Mbappe's future in this summer's transfer window.

If they sell Mbappe outright this summer, instead of facing the prospect of losing their "favorite" for free next summer, PSG cannot consider this a successful choice, but they will certainly have a significant transfer budget to invest in a suitable squad of players.

* According to Dailymail, Al Nassr has been banned by FIFA from registering new players, regardless of domestic or international transfers. The penalty will apply for three consecutive transfer periods with the team that Ronaldo is playing for.

FIFA's ruling comes after the Saudi Pro League side failed to pay Leicester City additional debts as part of a £14m deal for striker Ahmed Musa in 2018. In 2021, FIFA ordered Al Nassr to pay an additional £390,000 to the Foxes, and the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) sided with the Premier League side. However, the ruling will be overturned if Al Nassr pays the full amount.

* Sports Brief reports that Dutch legend Edwin van der Sar's health is gradually stabilizing and he is able to communicate with his family and friends. Last weekend, the former MU goalkeeper was hospitalized for a brain hemorrhage while on vacation in Croatia.

* According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus only requires a fee of 10 million euros for Paul Pogba. Last summer, Juventus reunited with Paul Pogba on a free transfer from MU, but constant injuries have limited the French striker's contribution to the "Old Lady" over the past time. Not wanting to continue paying such a high salary for a player who no longer has much use, Juventus is looking to push the 30-year-old midfielder away. According to Transfermarkt, Pogba was valued at a maximum of 100 million euros in 2019, but is now worth only 15 million euros.
