Marcus Rashford made a delightful long pass to Alejandro Garnacho that caught former Nottingham Forest goalkeeper Brice Samba out of position in the Lens goal.
Garnacho squared the ball towards the path of Mason Mount inside the 6-yard box to poke home but the ball instead rebounded off the summer signing's standing leg as he attempted to connect with his strike.
Erik ten Hag's team's friendly game would only grow worse in the first half as fellow newcomer Andre Onana was off his line as Florian Sotoca gave the visitors the lead.
Following Mount's miss, many United supporters questioned why Ten Hag was so desperate to sign the former Chelsea midfielder.
One fan wrote, “What I've learnt from MU pre-season: 1. We overpaid for Mount. Presses well, but the final third leaves a lot be desired. Not convinced on this signing, but will be happy to be proven wrong.”
Another questioned the choice made by the United boss, “Why exactly did Ten Hag and Man United sign Mount?”
Another fan wrote, “I know I keep saying it. But giving Mount the number 7 shirt is on par with paying £80 million for Maguire.”
Another popular account on Twitter, Troll Football also wrote, ”Chelsea scammed Man Utd.”
Manchester United will begin their Premier League campaign against Wolves as they look to build on last season's performance.
