Erik ten Hag pinpoints positives and negatives after Man Utd thrash Liverpool

Manchester United supporters may have been left rubbing their eyes after watching their team thrash Liverpool in pre-season, but manager Erik ten Hag found a few areas where improvement is still needed.

A 4-0 victory over Jurgen Klopp's side might have been beyond even the wildest dreams of fans, but that's what happened during the showpiece friendly in Thailand. Four different players were on target for the Red Devils - Jadon Sancho, Fred, Anthony Martial and potential summer departure Facundo Pellistri - and Ten Hag was impressed with his team's attacking fluidity.

With less than a month to go until the start of the season, there were plenty of positives for the former Ajax boss, who was taking charge of his first friendly for his new club. However, ever the perfectionist, he wants more from his charges - highlighting "some mistakes in the press" as they adjust to his new system.
