Just 48 hours after United paid more than £50million to secure his services from Lille, 18-year-old French defender Yoro was pitched into action, partnering Jonny Evans – a man twice his age – in the centre of defence.
The United supporters among a crowd of 56,574 at the home of Scottish rugby were equally excited to get a glimpse of England attacker Sancho for the first time since he patched up his differences with manager Ten Hag following their breakdown in relations last season.
The 24-year-old spent the second half of last term on loan at his previous club Borussia Dortmund after claiming on social media that he had been made a “scapegoat” following criticism from the United boss.
This was Sancho’s first outing in Manchester red since a substitute appearance in the 3-2 home win over Nottingham Forest on August 26 last year.
With several of their main men unavailable – including new signing Joshua Zirkzee – after their recent exploits at Euro 2024, Andre Onana, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Casemiro, Evans and Mason Mount were among the other notable names in United’s starting XI, along with Diallo, who had a spell on loan with Rangers in 2022.
In the 39th minute, Diallo—who made 13 appearances during a lackluster loan stint with Rangers little over two years ago—broke the tie with a low drive that went past Jack Butland from just inside the box after cutting in from the right and eluding Jefte with ease.
Ten Hag – whose side have another four weeks before they kick off their Premier League campaign against Fulham – rang the changes for the start of the second half.
Hugill, 20, sealed the Old Trafford side’s victory with an emphatic 70th-minute strike in off the underside of the crossbar.
Rangers fought back after the second goal and controlled much of the latter stages of the match.
Onana was forced into a brilliant save to deny Ridvan Yilmaz to maintain United’s clean sheet.
Jadon Sancho made his return to the team
