Real Madrid 2-0 Man Utd : Jude Bellingham scored his first goal
The 20-year-old England midfielder, playing just his second game since an £88m move to the Spanish champions, produced a delicate lob in the sixth minute to beat United's debutant keeper Andre Onana.
An acrobatic Joselu finish sealed the win two minutes from time in front of a 67,801 crowd at the NRG Stadium.
"There is a lot to aim for," Bellingham said after the match. "It is the biggest club with the best players. The expectations are high, as they should be."
On the evidence of his debut performance against AC Milan on Sunday and now United, Bellingham has settled in already.
A price tag that could eventually reach £115m is not weighing him down. He has excelled in his new position at the tip of an attacking diamond and his brilliant goal showed he has the class to excel at the Bernabeu Stadium.
His goal came from a well-timed run to instantly control Antonio Rudiger's long pass and then chip the advancing Onana from the edge of the penalty area.
