The Indomitable Lions went down 2-0 at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium in Rabat on Friday night, with Brahim Diaz and Ismael Saibari scoring the goals in front of a vibrant, partisan crowd.

Bryan Mbeumo scored twice as Manchester United survived a late scare against Brighton to claim a third successive Premier League win for the first time since February 2024, moving them up to fourth in the table.

United were cruising after an hour, thanks to goals from Matheus Cunha, who broke his 16-match scoring drought by netting for the first time for his new club, Casemiro’s deflected effort, and Mbeumo’s neat finish.

But Danny Welbeck’s brilliant free-kick pulled one back against his old club with 16 minutes left. Then, two minutes into the seven added, Charalampos Kostoulas flicked home a near-post header.

Suddenly, there were some worried faces in the United rank,s and it took an even later effort from Mbeumo, drilled into the roof of the net from 12 yards, to ease the tension.
