Manchester United 3 San Jose Earthquakes 1: Memphis on the scoresheet

Memphis Depay scored his first goal for Manchester United as they recorded a 3-1 win over the San Jose Earthquakes at the International Champions Cup.

The Netherlands international, whose signing from PSV was confirmed in June, struck during the first half of United's win at California Memorial Stadium.

Memphis almost opened the scoring - he was unable to get a touch to Juan Mata's strike that went in off the post - but did make it 2-0 moments later.

A Fatai Alashe goal brought the Earthquakes back into the game before Andreas Pereira sealed United's win after the hour-mark.

Memphis reached to try and poke the ball in, but Mata's effort went in off the post to give United the lead.

Van Gaal made 10 changes at half-time as only goalkeeper Sam Johnstone remained - the likes of Bastian Schweinsteiger, Ander Herrera, Chris Smalling and Phil Jones entering the fray.

Pereira was also introduced and he made it 3-1 in the 61st minute, the Brazilian's run going untracked before he headed a Jesse Lingard cross into the bottom corner.
