Half-Time Report: Ashley Young double gives Manchester United advantage over Real Madrid

Young double gives United advantage over Real

Manchester United lead Real Madrid 2-1 at half time in the International Champions Cup group match between the two sides in the United States.

The Red Devils took the lead in the 21st minute courtesy of a well-worked team goal comprising of more than 20 passes and capped off by a neat Ashley Young finish.

Real were level five minutes later when inexperienced United defender Michael Keane brought down Gareth Bale in the box, conceding a penalty that the Welshman coolly tucked away himself.

However, United had the final word before half time, taking the lead under fortuitous circumstances as a Young cross was misjudged by Real keeper Iker Casillas and ended up in the back of the net.
