BVB's extra sharpness proved decisive as the Bundesliga outfit inflicted a heavy maiden loss on the Portuguese in the International Champions Cup in Shanghai on Friday
Gonzalo Castro scored twice and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Ousmane Dembele were also on target as Borussia Dortmund thrashed Manchester United 4-1 in the International Champions Cup.
Dortmund had already played four pre-season friendlies before the encounter and Thomas Tuchel's men appeared noticeably fresher than United, which endured a difficult evening in Shanghai.
The Bundesliga side was 2-0 up by halftime thanks to Castro's scrappy opener and Aubameyang's penalty, before new boy Dembele scored a fine solo effort to stretch the lead after the break.
