Madrid were stepping out on the field for the first time this  pre-season and they, unsurprisingly, looked off the pace and sluggish at  times compared to United – playing their fifth match.United  spurned an early chance inside five minutes when Sanchez picked out Mata  with a delightful dinked pass but the Spaniard was able to get a shot  on target from close range.Vinicius was a handful for a United  back-three featuring Bailly, Timothy Fosu-Mensah and Scott McTominay,  but Madrid were overpowered in the first half.Sanchez broke the  deadlock in the 18th minute for his second goal in two matches when  Andreas Pereira played through Matteo Darmian and the wantaway Italian  cut the ball back for the in-form Chilean to sweep home.United  doubled the lead nine minutes later after Darmian, Mata and Sanchez  combined in a sensational team move to tee up Herrera, who fired a  half-volley past Kiko Casilla approaching the half-hour mark.Bale  and Benzema struggled to impact proceedings, that was until the latter  pulled a goal back in first-half stoppage time when the Frenchman  latched onto a Theo Hernandez cross as United's defence switched off.The second half was in complete contrast to the first as United – who  were so dominant in the opening 45 minutes – struggled to string passes  together against an improved Madrid. Ukraine international and teenage goalkeeper Adriy Lunin came on  for his Madrid debut following the 19-year-old's €14m arrival in June,  while fellow youngster Martin Odegaard was also introduced and wasted a  great chance to equalise after blazing over the crossbar.</blockquote>
