Erik ten Hag shows his authority on touchline as Manchester United thrash Liverpool

Just like in April, the scoreline ended 4-0, only this time it was reversed. Erik ten Hag presented silverware to a Thai dignitary on Monday and received some on Tuesday.

Manchester United will not be centring an exhibition around the Century Cup in the museum back at Old Trafford and the last Dutch manager returned from his maiden pre-season tour with some additional hand luggage, having also overseen victory over Liverpool.

Battering Liverpool is always an ideal start for a United manager, whatever the context. United last beat Liverpool 4-0 in April 2003.

In Bangkok, some Liverpool fans sported ‘9-0’ shirts, celebrating their aggregate evisceration of United last term.
