Marcus Rashford has admitted that Manchester United's players are already fitter than they were last season, just over two weeks into their pre-season preparations under manager Erik ten Hag.
United made an excellent start to their summer schedule on Tuesday, brushing arch rivals Liverpool aside in Thailand, winning 4-0. Jadon Sancho, Fred, Anthony Martial and Facundo Pellistri all scored to secure a winning start to the Ten Hag era.
Although the victory was impressive, results are not considered as a top priority in any club's pre-season campaign, with fitness levels and performances much more important. United, although Jurgen Klopp's side had a much-changed look to it, particularly in the first-half, were sharp and aggressive against the Merseysiders, ensuring they earned plenty of plaudits from their first outing under Ten Hag.
