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.
Sancho opened the scoring just 13 minutes into the match, pouncing on a bad clearance to fire beyond Alisson. Fred then doubled his team's lead after 30 minutes with a sublime chip, while Martial made it 3-0 just three minutes later.
Facundo Pellistri added a fourth for the Red Devils during the second half, as both teams made a number of changes, but David de Gea did give Ten Hag an injury scare when being forced off with a knock.
Erik ten Hag's United have made a strong start to Tour 2022, with a 4-0 victory over Liverpool. Jadon Sancho, Fred and Anthony Martial all got on the scoresheet in the first half before Facundo Pellistri completed the scoring after the break. With a confidence-boosting start to pre-season and some important minutes in the legs, the Reds will now head to Australia ahead of our next match, against Melbourne Victory, on Friday.
