Manchester United have rallied in the second half to rescue their friendly against RC Lens after going a goal down before half time. Goals from Marcus Rashford, Antony and Casemiro gave the Red Devils the lead as the French side conceded three in 10 minutes.

Manchester United woke up in the second half of their friendly against RC Lens. The home fans, ecstatic after the unveiling of new signing Rasmus Hojlund, were silenced after Andre Onana conceded a howler from long distance and the Red Devils were unable to equalise before the break.

Erik ten Hag must have delivered a half-time team talk for the ages, as United came out in the second half meaning business. Marcus Rashford got the equaliser not even five minutes after the restart, exactly five years to the day that he became United's '10'.

The English international was fed through by Antony and took a strike inside the box which deflected up and off sliding defender Kevin Danso and found the left corner. Not even five minutes after that, Antony got his turn, after Garnacho found him just outside the box, and he slotted it past the approaching keeper.

Casemiro got the third from a Luke Shaw free kick, as Rashford's header hit him just in front of goal and he sent it bouncing past keeper Brice Samba and sealing United's victory.
