Correa has started off the pre-season in the best way possible. The 27 year old played an assist to Thomas Lemar on the first goal.

The Argentine made it 2-0 with a great goal off a corner kick. The ball was crossed into the penalty area and as he was running away from goal, his left footed shot beat the goalkeeper.

Rodrigo De Paul was also on the bench for the match while new signing Nahuel Molina was with the team.

“I’ve been lucky enough to be part of successful teams in my career and that’s what I want to continue at Manchester United. There will be a lot of work to get to that moment, but I firmly believe that, under this manager and coaches, and together with my new team-mates, we can do it.

“I want to thank Ajax and their fans for all the support they gave me. I had an unbelievable time there but feel the moment is right to test myself in another environment. Now I am at the perfect club to do this.”

Dušan Vlahović will be Angel Di Maria’s main partner up front with Juventus as the 22 year old looks to build a proper friendship.

Vlahović gave an interview to Italian media “La Gazzetta dello Sport” and the striker spoke about Angel Di Maria joining the club. Here is what he had to say:

“Di María? When I found out he was coming, I immediately thought about how many goals and assists we can score together because I also want him to score.

“Ángel has been playing at a very high level for a long time. He is one of the strongest wingers of the last 20 years and he ha done very well wherever he has gone.

“With Di María, we have to get to know each other and understand each other a little. But I’m sure it won’t be difficult for him. He has played with great strikers. I am the one who has to ask him how I should move so that he finds me.”
