Highlight: Watch Man United 2-3 Borussia Dortmund Full highlights in pre-season friendly

Manchester United lost their third straight preseason friendly match as the Red Devils fell 3-2 to Borussia Dortmund in Las Vegas on Sunday.

Donyell Malen’s quickfire double right before halftime was the key for the German side, who struggled to gain a foothold on the game through the opening 45 minutes but pounced on a host of United defensive errors to snatch the lead at the break.

United got goals from Diogo Dalot (an absolute stunner) and Antony, but it wasn’t quite enough to match Dortmund’s output.

The three preseason defeats are worrying, as United’s first team lost 2-0 to Real Madrid on Thursday on the heels of a 3-1 defeat to Wrexham just days prior.

While the results aren’t themselves harmful, the performances do flag a few issues for Erik ten Hag to sort out, especially at the back.

A match full of defensive errors on both sides sees Borussia Dortmund come out on top.

It’s three consecutive defeats for Manchester United in preseason, which doesn’t truly matter but also certainly cuts a worrying tone heading into the beginning of the 2023/24 Premier League season.

United have plenty of issues to sort out at the back, although in truth most of the errors were committed by backups, with United trotting out a second-choice lineup at the start of the match. On the flip side, Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford were bright spots for United, which Erik ten Hag will surely be happy to point out.
