Andreas Pereira's outrageous volley lit up Manchester United's 2-2 friendly draw with Premier League new boys Brentford in front of 30,000 fans at Old Trafford on Wednesday night.
It was a match of great goals, started by 19-year-old Anthony Elanga before Brentford's Shandon Baptiste hit a swerving volleyed effort that went in off the woodwork.
Pereira's stunning goal early in the second half was the pick of the bunch but it did not prove the winner as substitute Bryan Mbeumo curled home smartly to ensure it finished all square.

He started up front as a lone striker with Lingard, Juan Mata and Mason Greenwood in support but definitely did not look out of his depth.
The 19-year-old came short to link play, drifted around to find space and drag Brentford's defenders out of position and was always willing to make darting runs in behind with his pace.

With Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho still on holiday and Anthony Martial working his way back from his knee injury, Elanga could be a threat off the bench in the first few weeks of the
