Noam Emeran makes the difference! Six things we learned as Man Utd sink Leeds in pre-season friendly thanks to tricky Frenchman as Mason Mount enjoys lively debut

All eyes were on Mason Mount and Amad Diallo, but a little-known French forward named Noam Emeran stole the show as Manchester United got their pre-season campaign off to a strong start by beating Leeds 2-0 in Oslo.

Emeran, 20, was one of 11 players to come on at half-time and he made a stunning impact, grabbing the first goal in the 67th minute with a first-time finish that seemed to go through the goalkeeper. He was far from satisfied with the strike though and duly set up United's second goal, a tidy finish from centre-forward Joe Hugill.

It was interesting that it was the team of youngsters that ended up seeing off Leeds after Erik ten Hag named an experienced starting line-up containing two World Cup winners in Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez, as well as £60 million ($77m) signing Mount, but he watched as his side failed to score in the first half.

Mount had a lively debut and came close to scoring while Amad was a handful for Leeds on the right of United's attack, and Hannibal Mejbri also impressed on his return to the team.
