Liverpool fly out to Thailand for Manchester United match with young defender on plane

Liverpool have jetted off to Thailand as they prepare to take part in the opening match of the club's 2022 pre-season tour.

Jurgen Klopp's side will play their first official fixture of the summer in Bangkok on Tuesday against none other than Manchester United. The sides also faced off in July 2018, with 105,000 fans present in America as Liverpool secured a comfortable 4-1 win.

After taking on the Red Devils, a trip to Singapore will be on the agenda to take on Crystal Palace just three days later. The Reds' tour continues with visits to Austria and Germany - facing Red Bull Salzburg and Red Bull Leipzig - and ends with the Community Shield and one friendly staged at Anfield against Strasbourg.

Liverpool are yet to officially confirm the players who will be involved in the first-team matches during this period, though details relating to this will soon emerge. Among those spotted boarding the club's flight to Thailand was under-18s defender Stefan Bajcetic, who looks to have been handed the opportunity to leave a lasting impression ahead of a new campaign.

Summer signing Darwin Nunez was also seen in a video shared by the club as supporters eagerly await a first outing for the Uruguayan forward since completing his move from Benfica last month.
