After two weeks on the training ground, Manchester United's players will put Erik ten Hag's plans and demands into practice when they face Liverpool in their pre-season opener on Tuesday.
The two giants will go head-to-head at the Rajamangala National Stadium in Bangkok, with the contest marking Ten Hag's first match in charge. Although results are not the main focus of pre-season, with the primary purpose of friendly matches being to build up fitness levels and match sharpness, Ten Hag will be keen to make a strong start to life in charge.
The Dutchman hosted his second press conference since accepting the job on Monday morning (BST time) and then went out onto the Rajamangala National Stadium pitch to conduct another training session ahead of the clash with Jurgen Klopp's side. Almost every member of the 31-man squad that travelled to Thailand participated in the session, but Raphael Varane, Axel Tuanzebe, James Garner and Scott McTominay did not feature.
