Report: United 2 Aston Villa 2
A huge thunderstorm earlier in the day had created an element of doubt over whether the Tour 2022 fixture would go ahead due to copious amounts of water on a pitch which had also hosted Leeds United versus Crystal Palace the night before.
After an inspection by match officials and representatives from the two clubs it was deemed playable, although there were a couple of apocalyptic downpours throughout the 90 minutes as the Reds led thanks to another tour strike from Jadon Sancho and an own goal from Matty Cash, who deflected Marcus Rashford’s volley past Emiliano Martinez. However, Villa hit back through Leon Bailey and, at the death, Calum Chambers.
