Two of Manchester United's new signings were in the starting XI and Old Trafford got a glimpse of what the future has to offer.

Harry Maguire, fresh from completing his world record transfer from Leicester City, started in the heart of the defense alongside Victor Lindelof and the Englishman marshaled the back-line right from the get-go.

The 26-year-old didn't put a foot wrong and was a commanding presence at the back as Manchester United ran out comfortable winners.

His compatriot Aaron Wan-Bissaka occupied the right-back spot and the youngster was lively throughout the game as he kept Chelsea's attackers in bay.

Manchester United's new recruits were fantastic right throughout the game and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's decision to sanction big money moves for the pair has been vindicated in some style.

Daniel James came off the bench to score in the Stretford End to cap off a fantastic outing for the Red Devils, with all their new recruits playing key roles.

Manchester United's transfer policy has often come under scrutiny but the club's summer recruits dazzled on their debuts, indicating a change of fortunes for the Red Devils.
