Manchester United began their pre-season tour of China with a clash against Borussia Dortmund in Shanghai on Friday.
Dortmund were two goals ahead at the interval courtesy of a close-range finish from Gonzalo Castro and penalty from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
Ousmane Dembele made it 3-0 Dortmund early in the second period, but Man United had one back moments later when Henrikh Mkhitaryan tapped home against his former club.
There was one more goal, however, as Castro scored his second late on to secure an impressive win for the German outfit.

As part of @IntChampionsCup rules, we need a winner on the night - if the game is level after 90 minutes we'll go straight to penalties.
