Bryan Mbeumo\u2019s double earned Manchester United a 2-1 friendly victory over Atletico Madrid in Stockholm on Saturday.<\/p>\n
United fell behind early on when Arnau Ortiz\u2019s attempted cross found its way into the net.<\/p>\n
But Michael Carrick\u2019s team levelled eight minutes after half-time when impressive youngster Shea Lacey was fouled in the box and Mbeumo netted from the penalty spot.<\/p>\n
The striker then bundled in a second in the 74th minute and United held on despite Atletico hitting the post twice, with much-hyped 15-year-old JJ Gabriel coming on for his first-team debut.<\/p>\n

Youngster Divin Mubama tapped in the opener in the 14th minute after excellent work down the left from Antoine Semenyo but Benjamin Pavard equalised six minutes later.<\/p>\n
That proved to be the end of the scoring despite a lively performance from City teenager Ryan McAidoo and Inter emerged 3-1 winners on penalties after Nico Gonzalez, Abdukodir Khusanov and Rayan Ait-Nouri all missed.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Tottenham record-signing Sandro Tonali scored his first goal for the club in a 2-1 friendly victory over Chelsea in Sydney.<\/p>\n

Estevao equalised for Chelsea and Spurs had Kevin Danso sent off four minutes into the second half.<\/p>\n
But Richarlison snatched a winner for 10-man Spurs in stoppage time.<\/p>\n
