Result: Manchester United 6-0 New York Cosmos

Manchester United put six goals past a New York Cosmos side which included Nicky Butt, Dwight Yorke and Patrick Vieira in Paul Scholes' testimonial match.

Scholes, who retired over the summer, put the Red Devils ahead after ten minutes with a strike from outside of the penalty area.

The hosts doubled their lead when Wayne Rooney converted a penalty after United new boy Ashley Young had been brought down inside the box.

Anderson and Danny Welbeck put the tie beyond the reach of the Americans before Mame Biram Diouf scored a brace late on.
