United confirmed the arrival of Lisandro Martinez from Ajax on Wednesday and he was thrown straight into action against Wrexham, who brought two teams.

Matej Kovar started in goal and the defence included Ethan Laird, Varane, Martinez and Alex Telles. Zidane Iqbal, James Garner and Eriksen made a three-man midfield.

Highly-rated Argentinian youngster Garnacho started in attack alongside Tahith Chong and Hannibal Mejbri, who played as a false No 9.

Ten Hag was keen to see what Garner could do after hearing of his impressive campaign on loan at Nottingham Forest last season. The stylish midfielder has spoken openly about wanting to continue his progression with more regular games.

However, while Garner produced a steady performance, it was 30-year-old Eriksen who caught the eye in the first half with a typical goal which had the sides level at 1-1 in the first half after defender Aaron Hayden scored for Wrexham.

United went on to score three without reply in the second half.

Eriksen and Martinez both came off at half-time to be replaced by Kobi Mainoo and Will Fish.

Meanwhile, wantaway Cristiano Ronaldo was in attendance as he watched from the stand next to the U-18s pitch.

The Portuguese star returned to training on Tuesday but will be kept separate from most of his team-mates having missed the club’s pre-season tour.

Ronaldo, who wants to leave Old Trafford this summer, is likely to be put on an individual training programme before being reintegrated into Ten Hag’s squad
