Manchester United beats Madrid Athletic 2-1 in Sweden friendly

Manchester United played a pre‑season friendly in Sweden against Madrid Athletic, overturning a 0‑1 halftime deficit to win 2‑1. Forward McBiamo scored both goals, equalising in the 53rd minute and adding a second in the 74th. Fifteen‑year‑old JJ Gabriel made his first appearance for the club, coming on early in the second half.

Manager Erik ten Hag said he was pleased with the squad’s cohesion and the natural interaction among players, while also stressing the need to balance training load and maintain fitness. Defender Len Yoro, who has started at right‑back in three consecutive friendlies, expressed willingness to adapt to different defensive positions, preferring centre‑back but ready to help the team where needed.
