Neymar shines against Manchester united

Neymar scored the only goal of the game as Barcelona secured a 1 - 0 win over Manchester United in the International Champions Cup. The man who is a subject of a world-record offer from Paris Saint-Germain was a menace down the left win for the Catalans.


Neymar had scored twice in the 2 - 1 win over Juventus last week and his fine form for Barca with his third goal in two matches to condemn United to their first defeat of pre-season. The match was played at the FedEx Field in Landover, Maryland on Wednesday. Neymar stole the ball from Antonio Valencia in the penalty area and found the back of the net in the 31st minute.

Captain Michael Carrick, Marcus Rashford and Jesse Lingard retained their positions in the starting line up as David de Gea, Chris Smalling, Victor Lindelof, Daley Blind, Antonio Valencia, Paul Pogba Henrikh Mkhitaryan, and Romelu Lukaku came into the XI. Valencia was stripped off the ball by Neymar, Ander Herrera and Juan Mata missed the match through injuries. Jordi Alba, Luis Suarez, Nelson Semedo, Samuel Umtiti, Sergio Busquets, 19-year-old midfielder Carles Arena, Neymar and Lionel Messi all started the match for the Barcelona side.
