In the 25th minute, the score was doubled. Mason Mount, with a long pass, brought Patrick Dorgu behind the defense, he advanced and coolly scored for 2:0.

"The Red Devils" However, they took the initiative again at the beginning of the second half. First, in the 50th minute, Mason Mount's low shot "licked" the left post.
In the 53rd minute, the result became classic. Hoylund received it in the penalty area, but was unable to play the ball well. However, Amad Diallo navigated the situation well, ran to help and shot into the goal for 3:0.

Bournemouth made their defeat more honorable in the 89th minute. David Brooks advanced from the left and crossed sharply, forcing Matthijs de Ligt to deflect the ball into his own goal for the final 4:1.
In the end, Manchester United celebrated a more than deserved success. The team's next test is against Everton on August 4. Bournemouth plays West Ham a day earlier.
Everton is not ready for the start of the new season in the English championship because of the lack of enough new players, manager David Moyes said. His team lost 1:2 against West Ham in the test in the USA.
“The Caramels” They lost 3-0 to Bournemouth last weekend and were also beaten by Blackburn. Before travelling to the States, they drew with Accrington Stanley.
"You can see we are not even ready for this tour. Accordingly, we are not ready for the start of the Premier League season. Results do not interest me so much and I am not worried because at the moment I do not have the players that I need and that I want. I know we are behind with the transfers. We knew that before we travelled to the States. We did not expect to come here and beat everyone", said Moyes, who will lead Everton against Manchester United this Sunday in another friendly match.
