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.
Shortly after, Bellingham netted for Real Madrid as Christian Eriksen was getting ready to replace Mainoo.
