DONNY VAN DE BEEK produced a stunning volleyed finish to boost his hopes of yet becoming a main man for Erik ten Hag.
United set themselves up nicely for their US tour with a decent display in front of 48,484 fans at Edinburgh’s Murrayfield Stadium, the home of Scotland rugby.
And £35million Dutchman Van de Beek – off the bench after the break – brilliantly executed a 49th-minute cross from fellow sub Dan Gore.
The ex-Ajax midfielder has endured a torrid three years at Old Trafford and managed just 10 appearances last season with a meagre 23 starts overall since swapping Amsterdam for Manchester.
But the 26-year-old was lively against a Lyon side led by ex-Reds star Laurent Blanc.
