Man Utd 0-1 Wrexham: Andrey Santos makes Red Devils debut in opening pre-season loss in Helsinki
Andrey Santos made his Manchester United debut as Michel Carrick's side lost 1-0 to Wrexham in their opening pre-season fixture at the Olympic Stadium in Helsinki.
The Brazil midfielder played the first 45 minutes of the game following his recent £50m transfer from Chelsea, although had little chance to impress as United's new permanent head coach changed every player with his side trailing at the break.
Carrick brought on United's Academy players as he sought a way back into the contest in the second half, captained by Tyler Fletcher, but without success as Wrexham held on for the win secured thanks to Sam Smith's far-post tap in six minutes before half-time.
And in truth, it could have been more had United backup goalkeeper Radek Vitek, who caught the eye while out on loan with Bristol City last season, not made an excellent stop to deny Davis Keillor-Dunn midway through the second period.
