Kobbie Mainoo singles out new Man Utd star and gives instant verdict on signings
Manchester United have been busy in the summer transfer window as Ruben Amorim looks to refresh a squad which languished in the bottom half of the table last term Kobbie Mainoo says Manchester United's team has "gelled" during their US tour and praised the impact made by new signing Matheus Cunha. Cunha, a £62.5million signing from Wolves, impressed in United's 2-1 US tour opener win over West Ham in New Jersey, with Mainoo claiming the forward brings something different to the team. "Adding Matheus brings something different again and I think it worked well in the last game," said Mainoo."You can stitch him up [with a poor pass] and he'll deal with it! He loves playing under pressure and in one against ones, so it makes it easier for me. "The team's definitely gelled well since we've been back and with the new additions - Diego [Leon], Matheus and Bryan [Mbeumo], it's been really good. It's been good, playing in there [midfield] with Manu [Ugarte], Bruno [Fernandes] or any of them - Casemiro, Toby [Collyer]. It's always good there. "It's been good. It's very hot out here and in New Jersey, but it's been nice. Training's been good, we got the first win against West Ham so we're all feeling good." Reflecting on his rapid rise for United and England, Mainoo said: "It's been a cool journey and I'm just looking forward to the season to see what happens." United, who could yet add to their ranks with a swoop for Benjamin Sesko, continued their pre-season progress with a 4-1 victory over Bournemouth on Wednesday. Rasmus Hojlund, Patrick Dorgu and Amad all found the net before youngster Ethan Williams got in on the action. Ruben Amorim's side play their final Premier League Summer Series match against Everton in Atlanta on Sunday. After that comes a home friendly against Fiorentina, and then the Premier League opener at home to Arsenal on August 17. Rivals Arsenal have been busy in the transfer market themselves. They completed a £63.7m swoop for one-time United target Viktor Gyokeres, while also signing Kepa Arrizabalaga, Martin Zubimendi, Noni Madueke, Christian Norgaard and Cristhian Mosquera. 'There were other clubs, of course, but this wasn't a hard choice. I chose Arsenal,' Gyokeres said, and he will now make his Premier League debut against his former Sporting CP boss Ruben Amorim. Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard has already been impressed by the Swede, saying: "'I think you've all seen what he's done in his career so far. Especially the last season at Sporting, the numbers speak for themselves. He's a very complete player. He's physical, strong, fast, good finisher, and intelligent as well. You can also see the hunger, the energy he brings. He's only trained a few times, but you can already see the quality and the willingness.'

Bournemouth's perfect pre-season ended by Man Utd
Bournemouth suffered their first pre-season defeat in heavy rain and swirling wind, losing 4-1 to Manchester United in sides went into the match at Soldier Field with positive pre-season records, but Ruben Amorim's side took the convincing Semenyo had a goal ruled out for offside, with the Cherries' sole consolation coming through a Mattias de Ligt own goal in the 88th minute."The weather obviously had a big part in the game," Iraola said post-match. "It was the same for both teams, but especially in the first half the wind was against us and we were struggling to kick the ball around."It was the opposite in the second half and we didn't take that advantage, so I think they played much better than us and deserved the win."I think this game will probably serve us more than the other day [3-0 win over Everton] because we have made more mistakes and we have more things to correct."We struggled because we didn't have that collectiveness. Some players performed well but others did not, and they made everyone look worse. We need all of our players on the same page."Next, Andoni Iraola's side head to Atlanta next to face West Ham United in their final match of the tournament on Sunday, 3 August (19:00 BST).
