Mbeumo's goals were assisted by academy players, with Lacey looking particularly sharp whether operating centrally and out on the right wing.But the best performances against Atletico came from Leny Yoro playing at right-back, who completely shut down Ademola Lookman, and the two midfield players. Andrey Santos was composed again, while Mason Mount was the best player on the pitch. Image: A number of Manchester United players impressed against Atletico Madrid Mount was composure personified in a deeper role and will be encouraged that he can fight for his place in a number of positions in Carrick's system - particularly given that Champions League commitments will necessitate a bigger squad for this campaign.Andrey Santos was far from showy alongside Mount but impeccable in his work as he continues to build on a promising pre-season following his arrival from Chelsea. The Brazilian has mobility and while his passing is simple, he looks forward when he can.There are World Cup players to integrate into this squad, new signings among them, so there are dangers in reading too much into pre-season fixtures. But this was another positive outing against a strong side. Carrick will have liked a lot of what he witnessed.What's next for Man Utd?August 8: Man Utd vs PSG - Gothenburg, 4pmAugust 12: Man Utd vs Leeds - Dublin, 7.30pmAugust 15: Man Utd vs AC Milan - Wroclaw, 3.45pmAugust 22: Hull City vs Man Utd - Premier League - MKM Stadium, 12.30pm
