Fans have reacted to Manchester United's 3-2 loss against Borussia Dortmund in a pre-season friendly at the Allegiant Stadium in Nevada on Saturday (July 31). It was the Red Devils' third straight loss in pre-season, having earlier lost to Wrexham and Real Madrid.
Diogo Dalot opened the scoring for United against BvB in the 24th minute. Donyell Malen bagged two goals in as many minutes just before half-time to give the German club the lead. Antony equalised in the 52nd minute before Youssoufa Moukoko secured the win for Dortmund.
Manchester United had 63% possession and matched Dortmund's shot count (13)m but the German side had more shots on target (13-7).
Fans reacted to the Red Devils' loss against Dortmund on Twitter. One pointed out that new signing Mason Mount is yet to provide a goal contribution for United in five pre-season games:
"So Mount is 005 right now? Or will he score before it's 007?"
Another blasted United's performance:
"Terrible, should’ve slept"

Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford addresses past links with PSG
Marcus Rashford did not have a good 2021-22 season, scoring five goals and providing two assists in 32 games across competitions. He was, hence, linked with an exit from Manchester United, with Paris Saint-Germain interested.
The Englishman recently opened up on those reports, revealing that he considered a move before manager Erik ten Hag came in. In an interview with ESPN, Rashford said:
"Before the manager came maybe a little bit, but it's football, it happens. Everything is going to happen for a reason, and he came to the club at the right time for me; the timing worked out."
Rashford also hailed Ten Hag's impact on him and the club:
"He always wants you to improve, whether it's physically or mentally. For us, as players, it's important he works on both sides with us, and if he sees an obvious place to make improvement, then he doesn't shy away from telling it."
He added:
"It's important for development, and you never really stop developing throughout your career."
Rashford had an exceptional 2022-23 campaign, bagging 30 goals and 11 assists in 56 games across competitions, helping United win the Carabao Cup.
