It’s a bad debut for AS Roma in the International Champions Cup suffering a defeat against Manchester United.  AS Roma starting the first half with the pressing, but unable to find the goal.   Manchester United seeming a demolishing machine in the United States.  Manchester United previously defeating Los Angeles Galaxy with a mega goleada 7-0,  and now putting down the Roman gladiators with a 3-2.  Surely, Roma a tough squad and this might be a tricky result because pressing and clear chances for goals were for Roma.   The attendance today at Sports Authority Field is 54,117.

Here is AS ROMA official starting lineup:

AS ROMA:  28 Skorupski, 82 Urby Emanuelson, 46 Romagnoli, 17 Benatia, 91 Calabresi, 20 Keita, 24 Florenzi, 32 Paredes, 48 Ucan, 7 Juan Iturbe, 22 Mattia Destro,

Here is MANCHESTER UNITED official starting lineup:

Manchester United: 50 Johnstone,  Jones, 6 Evans, 41 James, 42 Blackett, 23 Cleverley, 8 Mata, 21 Ander Herrera, 25 Valencia, 10 Rooney, 19 Welbeck

The first yellow card of the match is for AS Roma Calabresi in the 27th minute.

It is Manchester United forward Wayne Rooney to open the score in the 36th minute.  Rooney having enough time  to take few steps forward to accommodate the ball for his final right footed shot.
