Regardless of how new the 'new' era at Manchester United actually transpires to be, it will begin in earnest on Tuesday as Erik ten Hag takes charge of his first game.
Debut opponents don't come much tougher than Liverpool, with the old foes facing off in a friendly in Thailand to kickstart their pre-season tours. Jurgen Klopp's side may have lost Sadio Mane this summer but they have been boosted by the signing of Darwin Nunez and will be a formidable first opponent for United, who in contrast have lost seven players in total - including Dean Henderson on loan and the retired Lee Grant - and only brought in a left-back so far.
Though a friendly, both sets of players will be hoping to get pre-season off to a positive start and United's stars will especially be looking to impress their new manager. Ten Hag has been running the rule over his players for the last few weeks in training but the game offers him the chance to see how they have taken to his instructions.
