Washington: Manchester United remained undefeated under new Dutch manager Louis van Gaal after defeating Inter Milan 5-3 on penalty kicks on Tuesday following a goalless draw.

Scouting attacking talent for an English Premier League season only 18 days away, Van Gaal gave 21-year-old winger Wilfried Zaha and Japan's Shinji Kagawa a look in the second half and kept Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez -- reportedly being eyed for a transfer deal to Inter -- on the bench until late. "I am very pleased," Van Gaal said. "I think we played by far the best match of our sequence of three."
