An under-strength Red Devils couldn't get a result but there were some positive signs.

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer singled out new signing Donny van de Beek and returning goalkeeper Dean Henderson for praise after seeing his side lose 1-0 to Aston Villa on Saturday.

The pre-season friendly saw Solskjaer name an experimental starting side with the likes of Paul Pogba, Anthony Martial, David de Gea and Bruno Fernandes all absent.

In their place, midfielder Van de Beek played the full 90 minutes in his first appearance for the Red Devils, while Henderson started in goals as he looks to stake his claim for the number one spot.
