Friendly prediction:
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp selected a line-up comprising a mixture of experienced players like Alisson, Jordan Henderson, Luis Diaz and Roberto Firmino, along with youngsters including Isaac Mabaya, Luke Chambers, Tyler Morton and new signing Fabio Carvalho.
United took a 3-0 lead into half-time, with goals from Sancho, Fred and Martial, as Klopp changed his entire outfield personnel on the half-hour mark.
Lineup:
Liverpool’s new players to watch out for are Fabio Carvalho and Darwin Núñez. New winger Calvin Ramsay did not make the trip abroad because he’s still recovering from an injury.
Some youngsters to look out for in the 37-man named Liverpool squad include Isaac Mabaya, Tyler Morton, Leighton Clarkson, Melkamu Frauendorf, James Norris and goalkeepers Harvey Davies and Fabian Mrozek.
4-2:
Jadon Sancho opened the scoring before Fred and Anthony Martial increased United’s lead against a Liverpool side that made 21 changes across the 90 minutes, including half-hour cameos for new signings Darwin Nunez and Fabio Carvalho.
Young Uruguayan Facundo Pellistri added a fourth near the end as, in front of over 50,000 enthusiastic supporters in the Thai capital, Liverpool were made to pay for a combination of their profligacy at one end and defensive errors at the other.
Manchester United are off to a fine start to their pre-season preparations. Erik ten Hag’s man were dominant throughout their friendly clash against Liverpool in Bangkok on Tuesday with Jadon Sancho, Fred, Anthony Martial and Facundo Pellistri among the goals.
Friendly:
Sancho’s finish was calm, Martial’s clinical. If Marcus Rashford had taken another opportunity, offensively, United would have been almost perfect.
It is, of course, only the start of pre-season, with some Liverpool players literally returning from holiday in the hours before Saturday’s tour departure.
