Liverpool have summer signings Darwin Nunez and Fabio Carvalho will be involved in today’s friendly with Manchester United in Bangkok.
It is the first match of pre-season for both clubs, who had contrasting campaigns last season. United’s dismal term was lightened somewhat by Erik ten Hag’s May appointment and he has since set about a squad revamp.
Replenishing the midfield is his priority but he is also after an attacker, especially in light of Cristiano Ronaldo’s exit wish. The club had been chasing Nunez for a number of weeks before Liverpool swooped in the lure the 34-goal striker in a club record £85m transfer from Benfica last month.
