New Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho saw his side get off to a poor start on their tour of China when they lost 4-1 to Borussia Dortmund on Friday. Dortmund, playing the fifth match of their pre-season campaign, were much sharper than United who had just the single outing against Wigan before boarding the plane to China. Dortmund enjoyed the better of the early skirmishes and when they took the lead in the 19th minute the United defence had only themselves to blame. A long-range Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang free-kick was parried by inexperienced 23-year-old goalkeeper Sam Johnstone as it dipped in front of him. Mourinho did not include Wayne Rooney, opting to give his captain more time to get fit after only joining the squad earlier in the week after Euro 2016.
