Erik ten hag yesterday evening enjoyed a dream start to life as new manager of manchester united

Erik ten hag yesterday evening enjoyed a dream start to life as new manager of manchester united with an emphatic 4-0 pre-season victory over liverpool in thailand.

United ran riot against an extremely unfamiliar liverpool side, with jadon sancho’s rasping drive, a scintillating dink from fred, and a breakaway effort from anthony martial securing an unassailable three-goal lead at the break.

Liverpool, who started the match with five teenagers and did not introduce super star mohamed salah, virgil van dijk, or summer signing darwin nunez, until the 61st minute, left themselves with too much ground to make up on united, who crowned the encouraging victory with a brilliant late fourth from facundo pellistri.
