Ajax Cape Town hold Manchester United to a 1-1 draw in Cape Town on Saturday.

Manchester United scored in stoppage time to rescue a point in a 1-1 draw with Ajax Cape Town on Saturday.

Shinji Kagawa was handed his first start for United, and impressed in the early stages with a series of fine touches in tandem with Javier Hernandez.

However, it was the home side who perhaps carried the biggest threat in the opening half, with Keagan Dolly and Terror Fanteni both coming close to opening the scoring.

Hernandez had United's best chance of the half five minutes before the break, but his deflected effort just moved wide of the post.

United flew out of the blocks in the second period, and Hernandez twice came close to opening the scoring with 50 minutes on the clock.

The Premier League side continued to dominate as the match developed, but the stern Cape Town defence remained strong.

Kagawa came close on the 60 minute mark, but he headed a Hernandez cross wide of the post when he might have done better.

Nick Powell also came on for his United debut with 68 minutes on the clock, but it was the home side who ended the match the stronger - and they secured the lead with an effort from Alcardo Van Graan after 86 minutes.

However, United pushed in the latter stages, and rescued a draw as Bebe finished from close range in the final moments.
