Manchester United beats Atletico Madrid 2-1 in Sweden friendly

Manchester United overturned an early 0‑1 deficit to win 2‑1 against Atletico Madrid in a pre‑season friendly at Stockholm’s Strawberry Arena on August 1. Bryan Mbeumo scored both United goals – a penalty in the 52nd minute and a second‑half strike two minutes later – while Arnau Ortiz had opened the scoring for the Spanish side five minutes into the match.

The fixture forms part of United’s summer preparation under Michael Carrick, featuring recent signings such as Youri Tielemans, Andrey Santos and Karl Darlow. Atletico, missing several World Cup‑qualified players, will continue their tour with a match against Manchester City in Seoul before facing Olympique de Marseille later in August.
