Liverpool train ahead of clash against Manchester United in Bangkok
Manchester United beat Liverpool 4-0 in a pre-season friendly on Tuesday in Bangkok. If the low points for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Ralf Rangnick last season may have come in harrowing hammerings against Liverpool, Erik ten Hag at least marked a break with the recent past on his bow as Manchester United manager.
Solskjaer lost 5-0 and Rangnick 4-0 and, in the context of that, United could savour a scoreline that brought a 4-0 win, even if a pre-season friendly scarcely carries the same weight. Liverpool finished 34 points ahead of United last season and, in a game when Jurgen Klopp fielded 32 players and Ten Hag’s first-half side a plausible starting 11 for the opening day featured clubs at different stages of planning.
Nevertheless, United’s first look at Ten Hag’s ideas offered some encouragement. Follow all the match reaction to Liverpool vs Manchester United below:
