United have six appeal
Manchester United completely demolished China Super league side Shenzhen 6-0 in the third game of their East Asia tour.
Six different scorers including a debut goal from Nani secured the victory, which could have easily been double figures.
The first half was a stroll for United, they dominated possession and were given far too much time on the ball, with Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney often producing moments of show-boating.
United made their early superiority count when Darren Fletcher slotted Rooney in, who found himself one-on-one with the keeper but the powerful striker unselfishly rolled across for Ryan Giggs to tap-in.
The Red Devils doubled their lead on 20 minutes when a superb half-volleyed reverse ball by Giggs found Rooney, who audaciously lobbed the keeper from just inside the area.
The impressive Giggs was involved in United's third as he set up up Nani for a debut goal. The Welshman flicked the ball into the path of the debutant and he coolly hit a first-time shot into the bottom left-hand corner.
Shenzhen displayed some neat passing at times but failed to create, only managing a few long-rang efforts which Edwin van der Sar easily gathered.
Alex Ferguson's men also had two goals bizarrely disallowed, the first a Ronaldo header and the second a stabbed Wes Brown shot.
Just before the first half came to a close United almost made it four when Ronaldo smashed a dipping 25-yard free-kick against the bar.
Minutes into the second half Shenzhen carved out an opportunity, a pacey cross was swiped at by Patrice Evra and it fell to the left-winger but his shot rippled against the side-netting.
After a slow start to the half United slowly began to get their tempo back, a sweeping ball from Brown found Ronaldo who drove in and laid the ball into the path of John O'Shea who finished expertly.
Minutes later Nani started a counter-attack with a direct run, he pushed the ball right to Rooney who then rolled the balled across to Ronaldo, who easily finished to make it five.
On 64 minutes substitute Chris Eagles made it two goals in two games with a wonderful 30-yard strike which swerved and dipped into the top corner.
Despite the humidity United's pressure was relentless as Michael Carrick's shot came down off the bar and Alan Smith spurned a golden opportunity when he dallied on the ball.
Shenzhen continued to chase every ball but it was to no avail as United eased to victory.
The Premier League champions finish their tour of East Asia when they face Guangzhou Pharmaceutical on 27th July. -
Dammit! I miss the match!
Cheers.

Speaking about the match, which saw a debut goal from summer signing Nani as well as strikes from Ryan Giggs, Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo, Ferguson said: "It was a good performance in spells and the humidity was quite high.
"Some of the goals were very good.
"We wanted to use as many players as we can and it was an exercise to get everyone fit. They have all had their share and it's been good for us that way.
"In our first game (of the tour) there was a bit of rustiness but in the last two games we haven't looked like conceding."
United defender Wes Brown hailed his side's efforts after the performance.
"It was a good game and six goals is good in pre-season," he told MUTV.
"We have a good squad now. It was a good test but we played well to a good tempo and in the end they couldn't handle us."
Looking ahead to the coming season, Brown said: "For myself I want to play as many games as possible and when I do play to play well.
"I hope as a team we can win trophies again.
"We have a good squad now. Nani played well and fitted in fine on his first game.
"It's good for the whole season for the squad and shows what a player he is. We need players who can come on and change the game.
"The signings have done well, obviously Owen (Hargreaves) and Anderson are still to come in, but they have fitted in well." -
