Goals from John Egan, Lys Mousset and Tyler Smith sealed victory for the Blades who made 11 changes at half-time to give a number of their young stars a run-out.

It was also be the first time the Blades wore their new black and silver away strip, which is made by Adidas and was released earlier this week – to a great reception from the majority of Blades fans.

This is how the action unfolded.

Welcome back

to The Star’s live blog for this evening’s friendly against Europe Point - it doesn’t seem five minutes since the end of last season and yet so much has changed in the time since. United tonight will wear their new away kit for the first time - personally I rate it very highly, and the vast majority of Blades also have given it the thumbs-up since it was released earlier this week. What do you think?
