Manchester United defeated rivals Liverpool 3-1 at the Sun Life Stadium in Florida to win the International Champions Cup!
The Reds claimed the trophy after coming from behind with goals from Wayne Rooney, Juan Mata and Jesse Lingard. This victory ends Louis van Gaal's first pre-season tour as manager on a high note.
With five wins under his belt LVG must have analyzed his current squad minutely because this tournament contained eight of Europe's best teams. As United head home, the boss will ease off some players and may bring in fresh new faces.

In the mean time, Man United fans are happy that Red Devils are back to winning ways and look good under the experienced Dutch manager.

Sir Alex Ferguson has praised his Manchester United scouts for securing the signing of Javier Hernandez before the World Cup. SAF thinks United signed the Mexican star (cheaply) before his price-tag went up.
Chicarito was relatively unknown before the World Cup. United spotted him and signed him for £7 million. His impressive performance at the World Cup was highly praised and his stunning strikes against France and Argentina proved he was special.
Sir Alex is pleased that his scouts were able to swoop on the young Mexican striker and bring him to Old Trafford. He said:
We were lucky that we identified him before the World Cup and got the deal the done. If we'd have waited until after the tournament he could have cost us maybe two to three times the money. It was good work by our scouting department - they did a really good job.
United are currently on their pre-season tour of America. They will play a friendly in Mexico against Chicarito’s former club Chivas on Friday night. This friendly match was a part of the deal while signing the Mexican striker.
To pay tribute to his old club, Chicarito will play for both United and his former club Chivas. He'll play against his old club in the first half and then play for them against United in the second.
