Manchester United began their summer schedule with a friendly against the LA Galaxy and while things were going just fine on the field -- Man United were leading 3-0 by halftime, via two goals from Marcus Rashford and one from Marouane Fellaini -- it's safe to say the MLS side had the edge in the pregame warm-ups.

Even if the Galaxy come out on the losing end of a heavy defeat, we think that Cozmo's prematch wit earns them a moral victory of sorts.
United have four more games in the United States after Saturday night, with a friendly against Real Salt Lake before the International Champions Cup, featuring games against Manchester City, Real Madrid and Barcelona.
They then face Valerenga in Oslo, Norway, and Sampdoria in Dublin, Ireland, before the UEFA Super Cup against Real Madrid in Macedonia on Aug. 8.
