Published: July 23, 2018

Manchester United were held to another goalless stalemate by San Jose Earthquakes in their second pre-season game in the United States at the Levi's Stadium on Sunday night.

Earthquakes number 25 Quincy Amarikwa was named in the starting XI for the opponents

Young Red Devils right-back, Matthew Olosunde was not among those who had traveled with Jose Mourinho's team for their tour of the United States.

In a game devoid of much clear-cut chances, Scott McTominay came closest to finding the breakthrough for United when he sent a speculative header goalwards but James Marcinkowski did well to hold onto his effort.

Amarikwa made way for teammate, Magnus Eriksson after the first period of the game.

The California-born striker, who is called Obinna by the Nigerian community in USA, has not earned any caps for the Americans at international level and is eager to join the Super Eagles setup.

Manchester United will continue their pre-season activities with games against Liverpool, Real Madrid, AC Milan and Bayern Munich.
