United were put through their paces by Club America in Arizona as the friendly game finished 1-1 with Juan Mata volleying in a right-foot shot in the 78th minute to bring the score level. United were missing the likes of Sanchez and all those that have played recently in the World Cup in Russia, so plenty of the youngsters got game time.
Mourinho told MUTV: “After five days of training you need to play and it’s good to play against a team that is at three days’ distance from starting their Mexican league.
“So (they were) a team with with intensity, a team with quality that pushed us to levels that we are not prepared for… so a good training session.”
