Alexis Sanchez was on target as Manchester United defeated AC Milan on penalties in their International Champions Cup friendly in Los Angeles.

Chilean international Sanchez was United’s best performer in a low-key game at Carson’s StubHub Centre which finished 1-1.

Sanchez fired United into the lead with a well-taken goal on 12 minutes before Spanish midfielder Suso equalised for Milan three minutes later.

Although Sanchez produced a lively performance for United, the Premier League giants were unable to find a further goal, sending the game to penalties.

A bizarre shoot-out was won 9-8 by United, with both teams having to recycle their penalty takers after a string of missed spot-kicks.
