;Manchester United defeated Amazulu 1-0 at the Moses Madiba Stadium on Wednesday night in a pre-season friendly in honour of Nelson Mandela's 94th birthday.
United started the stronger of the two sides and were soon in front after 20 minutes when Federico Macheda buried his shot into the bottom corner of the net.
AmaZulu settled after the goal and looked to get back into the tie although it was the English giants who looked the most threatening from the off.
Macheda had a chance as early as the first minute as he forced Tapuwa Kapini into a low save and with Javier Hernandez lurking AmaZulu were lucky to survive the scare.
Marc van Heerden then did well to get back to cut out another United attack that released Jesse Lingard down the right hand side.
Van Heerden was called into action again moments later as he slid in to clear the ball as Macheda was just about to shoot.
