New Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag got off to the perfect start with a four-goal pre-season friendly victory over Liverpool on Tuesday in Bangkok.
Jadon Sancho, Fred and Anthony Martial all netted first-half goals to put United in control of the match before substitute Facundo Pellestri added a fourth late on. It was an impressive display from the Red Devils with a clear playing style and identity evident from the performance.
After just two full weeks of pre-season training at their Carrington base before Ten Hag named his first 31-man squad for their tour of Thailand and Australia, it is a tad premature to read too much into one performance but there were several trends evident that are an indicator of what the new boss wants to do at Old Trafford.
