Manchester United topped the group in the Premier League Summer Series.
The Reds won the trophy after a 2-2 draw with Everton followed victories over West Ham United and Bournemouth.
Eight goals were scored by Ruben Amorim’s men in the three fixtures, played in New Jersey, Chicago and Atlanta.
There were a number of standout performers and we have compiled a shortlist for fans to pick their star man from the trip across the Atlantic. There is also an option if you disagree with our selection!
Bruno Fernandes was Man of the Match in the games against West Ham and Everton, while Patrick Chinazaekpere Dorgu picked up the accolade for his display in the win over Bournemouth.
In the Hammers clash, Fernandes converted an early penalty, after Alphonse Areola fouled Ayden Heaven, before the captain doubled the lead with a superb shot from a pass by Kobbie Mainoo. Jarrod Bowen replied for the east Londoners.
A free-flowing performance against Bournemouth yielded a fabulous 4-1 triumph at Soldier Field. Dorgu crossed for Rasmus Hojlund to glance in the opener, before bagging his maiden goal in Reds colours when latching onto a quick free-kick by Mason Mount.
Amad claimed the third, although it may have struck Hojlund on the way in, with Ethan Williams adding the fourth. Matthijs de Ligt’s late own goal was a mere consolation for the Cherries.
In Sunday night’s 2-2 draw against Everton, Fernandes netted another penalty to get the ball rolling, after Amad was shoved over by James Tarkowski.
Iliman Ndiaye equalised with a smart far-post finish but Mount looked to have gained another victory with a sweet curler, set up by Fernandes’s clever pass. However, Amad’s clearance struck Heaven to deflect past Altay Bayindir and level matters again at 2-2.

So we opted for a seven-strong shortlist, based largely on the poll results from the individual matches. Amad, Dorgu, Matheus Cunha, Dorgu, Fernandes, Hojlund, Mount and Leny Yoro make the cut. It is worth mentioning Diego Leon and Ethan Williams are two youngsters who will be pleased with their output too.
Remember there is to option to select ‘other’ if you favour an alternative name.
All in all, it was a positive showing by the Reds in the US and the trophy was secured with the seven-point haul.
So which Red gets your nod as the most impressive throughout the three fixtures? Have your say.
