REAL MADRID continued their tour of the USA with a huge shutout against Manchester United.
Jude Bellingham slotted in the first of the night for Madrid after receiving a phenomenal over-the-top pass, gashing the United defense. Bellingham put in a cheeky chip over Andre Onana for the quality finish and early lead.
In the second half, Joselu put on the finishing touches with a wonderful bicycle kick.
The Red Devils' are now 1-2 in their last three pre-season matches after they were beat by Wrexham, who unfortunately saw Paul Mullin get rushed to hospital last night.
Meanwhile Real Madrid are now 2-0, with wins over AC Milan and now United.

Maguire BOOED during Real Madrid clash
Harry Maguire was repeatedly booed during Manchester United’s pre-season friendly with Real Madrid last night.
United fell to a 2-0 defeat by Madrid after £115million new signing Jude Bellingham opened the scoring for the Spanish side after six minutes.
United, wearing their controversial new away shirt, then huffed and puffed in search of an equaliser before new Madrid signing and former Stoke City man Joselu put the game to bed with an 89th minute goal.
But it was another night to forget for Maguire.
The defender came on in the 62nd minute for Raphael Varane as Erik Ten Hag rotated his pre-season team.
And despite not really putting a foot wrong, Maguire was welcomed onto the pitch to boos throughout the United game at the NRG Stadium in Houston Texas.
He was then booed every time he had possession as he looked to play out from the back.

Kobbie Mainoo limps off
Manchester United suffered a nightmare opening in a friendly against Real Madrid, losing starlet Kobbie Mainoo to an injury TWO minutes after kick-off.
And it immediately got worse for the Red Devils as while they were temporarily down to 10 men, Jude Bellingham opened the scoring.
Mainoo got hurt in a particularly unfortunate manner.
Casemiro fouled Rodrygo as he charged past his fellow Brazilian and charged at Andre Onana's goal.
As the Real Madrid star lost balance, he fell to the ground while also taking down Mainoo.
The 18-year-old midfielder needed medical attention after the collision.
He then limped off the field with the help of United trainers.
