Manchester United closed their American tour with a 2-2 draw against Everton in an entertaining collision in the Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
The side of Ruben Amorim took the lead after 19 minutes when Bruno Fernandes quietly hit a penalty home, awarded after James Tarkowski Amad Diallo had brought down in the box.
Everton equalized five minutes before half -time, with Iliman Ndiaye clinically finished on the back post after a Pinpoint Cross of Idrissa Gueye.
Mason Mount restored United's advantage in the 69th minute and showed calmness to turn and shoot along Jordan Pickford after a sharp movement in the box.
However, the management did not last long. A bizarre own goal of Amad Diallo Gifted Everton a second equalizer, ensuring a dramatic end of the game. Despite the draw, United was crowned Premier League Summer Series champions.
Chris Wheeler from Mail Sport was in Atlanta to reveal things that we learned from the competition.
Mbuemo makes an impression
The construction of the debut of Bryan Mbeumo for Manchester United in the 2-2 draw with Everton was overshadowed by the aim of the club of RB Leipzig-Spits Benjamin Sesko and uncertainty about Rasmus Hojlund's future at Old Trafford, but the first 45 minutes in the Mercedon Striker made.
Play on the right side of a front three that United's other New Boy Matheus Cunha had had, starting through the center and Bruno Fernandes on the left, Mbeumo joined his two teammates and had a number of clear moments, especially the blind pass that was a penalty who was a pierna who was a penalty won in a penalty who was a penalty who was a penalty who was a penalty who was a penalty who was a penalty who was a penalty who was a penalty who was a penalty who was a penalty who was a penalty who was a penalty who was a penalty who was a penalty who was a penalty won in a penalty who was a penalty who was a penalty won in a penalty diello. 19th minute.
It will be interesting to see how Ruben Amorim uses his range of No.10 players – which also includes Mason Mount – if he signs a new striker or stays in the club. The Dane continued in the 72nd minute.
Diallo is another who can play as a no. 10, but he started in his alternative right-wing-back role in Atlanta and benefited from the work of the front three, emerging and demonstrably United's brightest player in the first period. The match was only less than four minutes when Fernandes released the Ivorian who slid in Cunha, but his effort was wide from the distant mail.
James Tarkowski was furious when Diallo came by Fernandes, Mbeumo and Cunha at the end of a slick movement to win the penalty, and the United Man then brought an awkward challenge of Vitalii Mykolenko when he then brutally walked out of the Ukrainian road.
Although United missed a conventional center-forward, there was not a fluidity in their attack that Sir Alex Ferguson achieved with Wayne Rooney, Carlos Tevez and Cristiano Ronaldo when he brought his team to Champions League Glory in 2008, and this level clearly has a way to reach that level.
Mbeumo went back to a more advanced role during the break with Diallo, when Patrick Dorgu joined left -wing wingback and switched Diogo Dalot to the right.
Mount came in the 59th minute to play wide on the right with Fernandes who descended deeper, and he scored United's second goal when Fernandes pushed a pass in and he curled an excellent shot past Jordan Pickford.
Midfield Mist Tempo
There have been some worries about the lack of pace in the midfield of United and it was emphasized again when Everton took a deserved equalizer in the 40th minute in Atlanta.
It seemed as if Amorim's side had cleaned up the danger when Matthijs de Ligt played the ball to Manuel Ugarte on the edge of his own box, but the Uruguayan was slow and James Tarkowski stable to rob the ball.
Idrissa Gueye quickly showed thinking to play a first cross to the back post where Iliman Ndiaye reacted faster than Bruno Fernandes to score with a clinical finish.
The other options of United in the central midfield are the 33-year-old veteran Casemiro and Kobbie Mainoo, and Amorim released his concern about the pace of Mainoo earlier in the Tour. It emphasizes why United is considering signing a faster number 6 for the end of the transfer window to inject a more speed in their midfield.
Another option is of course Fernandes who fell deeper for the last quarter of the match in Atlanta and received an assist on the second goal for Mount.
Goalkeeper questions remain unanswered
The other area of the team watching United is a new keeper in the midst of question marks about the future of Andre Onana at Old Trafford.
It is expected that the Cameroon International will stay and start, but United quoted £ 30 million to sign Onana in the window early and they have inquired about Emi Martinez of Aston Villa and PSG's Gianluigi Donnarumma.
With Onana, because of a hamstring injury on just the second day of the training in Carrington's training, this was a chance for his number 2 Altay Bayindir to shine and it is honest to say that the Turk did not enter into his opportunity.
Bayindir almost paid for an error in the seventh minute when he went down to save James Garner's 20-Yard free kick, but bundled the ball directly to Jake O'Brien who should have done better than guiding it against the far pole with the goal yawning.
O'Brien then went wide just before half -time, and Everton denied the leadership who probably deserved their first half.
There was also a close call when Tim Iijbbunam Doorniep and the ball passed a hesitant Bayindir to score, but luckily for the United keeper he was just offside.
Bayindir could not be accused of Ndiaye's Well-Tasks Equalizer shortly thereafter, but the second goal was a mess when Diallo played the ball against Ayden Heaven and it dripped along a stately Bayindir while United gave its own goal for the second game in a row with an Everton side that their previous side.
Pretty friendly
One of the benefits of playing in a Premier League Summer Series is the level of competition against old rivals is that a bit sharp than other tour games.
United has played well to beat West Ham and Bournemouth in the US, but they came across a spicy Everton in the last match in Atlanta.
James Tarkowski gave Amad Diallo an ear base after the Ivorian won a fine in the first half, and there was a furious exchange in the construction of Everton's second equalizer when Bruno Fernandes and Iliman Ndiaye bumped into the half line.
Fernandes chased the Everton man and seemed to cut him from behind, which led to an angry push match between them while the game went on and the ball went to Ayden Heaven.
Ruben Amorim would probably prefer a game like this to test his players in this phase of the preseason, where United is confronted with Arsenal in their Premier League opener in two weeks.
