Manchester United are back in Dublin and they are back with a bang.
Sampdoria are the opponents for the final pre-season fixture before Mourinho's men meet Real Madrid in the UEFA Super Cup next week, and they had a great chance to take the lead early on.
Daley Blind made an awful pack-pass which forced David De Gea to make a save, thus resulting in a good old fashioned Alan Shearer-esque indirect free-kick to be awarded.

Within seconds it was 1-0 up the other end.
Some strong running by Valencia brought Henrik Mkhitaryan into the play before he switched to Matteo Darmian.
The Italian then found Mkhitaryan at the back post and United were 1-0 up.
A cracking counter, the Dublin crowd - roughly 50,000 Man Utd fans - were on their feet.
