Schneiderlin scores his 1st goal for Man. Untd

Match-winner Morgan Schneiderlin was happy to cap his Manchester United debut with a goal on Friday. Schneiderlin's fifth-minute header was the difference as United opened their International Champions Cup campaign with a 1-0 win against America in Seattle. The France midfielder, who completed his big-money switch to Old Trafford from Southampton just hours before the club flew out to the United States for their pre-season tour, rose highest as he steered a looping header across America goalkeeper Hugo Gonzalez. "It's good to start with a win. The first game is about doing what the manager wants from us," Schneiderlin told MUTV. "We did our best and we can correct a few things but it's our first game. We want to get better and be ready for the Premier League. "We worked a lot [on Thursday] on set-pieces and I was told to get to the far post. I was happy to get the ball and it was a great cross from [Juan] Mata. I am very happy to score on my first game for United but the main thing is to get fitness in the first game back in pre-season." United manager Louis van Gaal praised Schneiderlin, who was replaced by Ander Herrera at half-time.
