How strong does Ten Hag go?
With no significant signing through the door yet there is no point in debating United's strongest XI as they do not have one. It is a match between incomplete and complete squads; as Liverpool conducted all of their meaningful business before July.
United arrived in Bangkok a day earlier than Liverpool but it is the same porous defence as last season, the same underwhelming midfield and an attack devoid of its only dependable goalscorer. United have 31 players in Thailand and Liverpool 37 and substitutions are set to be unlimited, which is perhaps just as well for United's sake.
