The move went down United’s left, with Luke Shaw were caught out of position and Victor Lindelöf and Harry Maguire off the pace, leaving Melbourne’s Chris Ikonomidis with an easy tap-in.

Erik ten Hag looked to be pushing both Maguire and Lindlöf higher up the pitch when his side were in attack, and testing this new approach inevitably left them vulnerable at times.

United sprang into action just before half-time, as Scott McTominay – who had already seen two shots blocked – found the breakthrough saw his shot take a huge deflection and hit the back of the net.

The second came just two minutes later, courtesy of Anthony Martial from close range after some good work from Diogo Dalot in the build-up.

Ten Hag rang the changes after half-time, fielding ten different outfield players for the second half including youngster Zidane Iqbal and new man Tyrell Malacia.

Marcus Rashford completed another move as he selected just the right shot for a tidy finish from a superb Eric Bailly pass.

There was a blast from the past when Nani was introduced for his Melbourne debut not long before full time, but a late own goal was all that was added to the scoreline. That’s another four scored and a case of so far, so good for new boss Erik ten Hag.
