If ever it was time to dust off the old mantra of not reading too much into pre-season results, then this was it.
For the second time in succession, a 4-0 hammering was meted out in this most storied of fixtures between Liverpool and Manchester United. Only this time, it was Jurgen Klopp's men who were forced to suffer through a tortuous 90 minutes or so. Rather the Bangkok Century Cup than the Premier League, at least, eh?
For a club whose PR slogan in recent times has been 'This Means More', it was United for whom this game in the Thai capital represented something more valuable. Instead, a meeting that was quite literally years in the making is one that will be forgotten very quickly from Liverpool's perspective.
