Manchester United got their first pre-season game of the summer under their belt with a 4-0 win over Liverpool in Bangkok.
A stronger United team faced a weakened Liverpool team in the first half, scoring three goals, but then roles were reversed in the second half, but United still managed to score another.
Jadon Sancho, Fred and Anthony Martial all scored great goals, while Facundo Pellestri scored on the counter following brilliant work from Eric Bailly carrying the ball out of defence.
After the game, new manager Erik ten Hag gave his view on the game to MUTV.
We are satisfied today because I think there was a team with great spirit. We know we are just starting and when things begin to click like the press… we know we made some mistakes in pressing and conceded some chances but also we created a lot and I think our team played bravely, they were proactive and we had to work really hard to get out of some mistakes. Of course, we are happy with the first game.
It was not only the result. I know we have good players but we have to play as a team. We started the first game well so I am happy.
Of course it will take time, believe me I have seen a lot of mistakes but I will not say [what they were]. But to be honest, Liverpool played with three teams and they were not at their strongest, so we are not overestimating them [our players]. We saw some really good things. What you see is we have a lot of creativity and speed in the front and we have potential.
