What TV channel and time is Manchester United v Liverpool on today?

Manchester United and Liverpool clash in a pre-season match in Bangkok on Tuesday in what will be both sides' first game since May.

It will also be Erik ten Hag's first match as United manager, but he will be without Cristiano Ronaldo for the clash as speculation over the Portuguese star's future continues.

Ronaldo was due to report for pre-season training last Monday but a family issue saw him miss the whole week and Friday’s flight to Thailand for the start of United’s pre-season tour.

Quotes corner

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag on young players: “What I want to see is that they learn but also they show themselves because they have to deserve a position in top football. You have to deserve your position.

“It means you have to deliver every day, that demands a certain style, a certain way of life that they have to adapt to, that they probably don’t know yet.

“But I am really looking forward to seeing if they can do it. I hope one or two, they can prove themselves and they come into the squad but, if they want to enter the dressing room, they have to deserve it.”

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp: “We brought here 37 players, so we have all generations here and we have to use all of them because the boys who were on international duty in the summer only arrived today pretty much and they cannot play too long.

“But we will try to give them a few minutes as well, so it will be really exciting.

“Manchester United – a new manager, trained a little bit longer than us so might be, I’m not sure, in a better situation in the moment.

“But we see it as an important test because it’s against United and we don’t play friendlies, obviously both teams don’t play friendlies against each other, so we will see what we can do.”
