Manchester United: Manchester United secured a thrilling 3-2 victory over Real Betis in San Diego to clinch the Snapdragon Cup.

The match began with United almost taking an early lead, only for Jadon Sancho's goal to be ruled offside. However, it was Real Betis who struck first, with Iker Losada capitalizing on a defensive mishap to score against the run of play. Losada’s goal came after Rodri's diagonal pass and subsequent run down the right flank, which set up a chaotic scene in the United penalty area.

Undeterred, United responded swiftly. Amad Diallo was brought down in the box by Romain Perraud, earning a penalty that Marcus Rashford confidently converted, leveling the score at 1-1. The Reds quickly built on this momentum, with Amad smashing in a spectacular goal from a tight angle after a cross from young left-back Harry Amass. Casemiro then extended United's lead to 3-1, pouncing on a flicked-on corner from Sancho to tap in from close range.
