Darwin Nunez' horror miss against Manchester Untied prompted Jurgen Klopp to discuss his marquee signing's performance in Bangkok, explaining that the young striker was playing with "massive" blisters on his feet. Nunez came off the bench for Liverpool after his club-record transfer from Benfica this summer, after he had impressed against Liverpool in the Champions League.
United would go on to defeat Liverpool comfortably in their pre-season outing, with goals from Jadon Sancho, Fred and Anthony Martial putting United 3-0 up at the break, before Facundo Pellistri rounded off the scoring in the second half.
United fielded a strong team and had the edge throughout the game, with a lot of their players having had a week longer than Liverpool in pre-season training. That was evidenced by United making 10 outfield changes at half-time, while Liverpool played three different outfield teams, with Jurgen Klopp making wholesale changes at the 30- and 60-minute marks.
