It was not a good end to a US tour for either Man Utd or Spurs as they both lost their latest games on tour.

Paris St Germain 2 Manchester United 0

PSG beat Manchester United 2-0 in Chicago to win the International Champions Cup.

Goals from Blaise Matuidi and Zlatan Ibrahimovic gave the French side victory and meant that Man Utd ended their tour with a defeat after wins over Club America, San Jose Earthquakes and European champions Barcelona

Man Utd got the ball in the net after 22 minutes when Juan Mata prodded home Daley Blind's exquisite through ball, only for it to be ruled offside.

But three minutes later, PSG struck at the other end when a long ball forward caused havoc in United's defensive unit.

French international Matuidi raced forward and got between Luke Shaw and Phil Jones to toe-poke home past the onrushing David de Gea to make it 1-0.

Nine minutes later they doubled their lead when Ibrahimovic picked up the ball in midfield and released Maxwell down the left flank. The Brazilian fullback advanced and then calmly picked out Ibrahimovic with the return pass for the Swedish star to slot past de Gea.

MLS AllStars 2 Tottenham 1

Harry Kane was on target for Tottenham but it was not enough to prevent them being beaten by a Kaka inspired MLS allstars team.

The Brazilian, who plays for Orlando City, opened the scoring from the penalty spot after 20 minutes before he turned provider for New York City forward David Villa three minutes later.

Kane replied in style from 25 yards for the visitors shortly before the break but as close as Spurs came as they continued their preparations for the new season.
