Manchester United defeated San Jose Earthquake 3-1 in a pre-season friendly at the Avaya Stadium, but Louis van Gaal was left wanting more. Before the match kicked off, both sides, and the crowd, observed a moment's silence. https://twitter.com/ManUtd/status/623690219988979712 The United boss saw his side dominate the first half, and lead through Juan Mata and Memphis Depay goals, before a Morgan Schneiderlin error gifted San Jose a goal. The second-half saw the pace taken out of the game before United's talented Brazilian youngster Andreas Pereira headed home. https://youtu.be/0T3ZJeuGX1c Post-match, van Gaal expressed his delight with his side's opening half.

The Dutchman was delighted with his first scoring contribution for United since his summer switch from PSV Eindhove. https://twitter.com/Memphis/status/623733035339489280 Let's hope he cuts out the post-match selfies once the proper football starts.
