Ederson's first half with Manchester City was one to forget.
The Brazilian net-minder, appearing in his first pre-season match since his lucrative transfer from Benfica, was largely at fault for Manchester United's opener Thursday in Houston, Texas when he attempted to intercept Romelu Lukaku's charge toward the City penalty area.
In contrast, the Belgian forward showed great composure when he headed the ball out of Ederson's reach just outside the box before firing the ball into the back of the net from an acute angle.
Marcus Rashford doubled United's lead moments later with a smooth finish after yet another clear break on goal.
