Erik ten Hag is making a dream debut as Manchester United's new coach: The Red Devils' new hope can look forward to a 4-0 win over archrival Liverpool in the first friendly of the season.United defeated the "Reds" in Bangkok thanks to goals from Jadon Sancho, Fred, Anthony Martial and Facundo Pellistri.However, the prestige duel did not have too much significance.With goalkeeper Alisson, captain Jordan Henderson and striker Luis Diaz, Liverpool only had three players in the starting XI who also contested the Champions League final against Real Madrid at the end of May.Newcomer Darwin Nunez, defender Virgil van Dijk and superstar Mohamed Salah came on after about an hour."What you could see right away was that the boys were constantly looking for Darwin," Klopp explained after the game, joking: "After the third sprint, his lungs were about to explode.They almost killed him with those balls, but he volunteered."The "Red Devils" were happy about the prestige success and the first trophy of the young season, but not too euphorically: "Liverpool played with three different teams, they weren't at their best level.We won't overestimate the result," said United coach Ten Hag after the final whistle, adding: "But I've seen a lot of good things."Unlike his opponent Jürgen Klopp, the 52-year-old Dutchman sent a prominent formation into the Bangkok Centenary Cup.Ten Hag's 4-2-3-1 system featured Bruno Fernandes, Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho right from the start.The only missing person was Cristiano Ronaldo, who is said to be intending to change and who had not made the trip "for family reasons".Making positive steps forward 👣❤️ ➡️ On to the next one.#MUFC ||#MUTOUR22 pic.twitter.com/M23CvabNUXThe United squad is not complete yet.With left-back Tyrell Malacia, who came from Feyenoord Rotterdam for 15 million euros, the "Red Devils" have only reported one transfer.Further investments are planned: Ten Hag is said to be particularly interested in defender Lisandro Martinez and striker Antony.Both last played at Ajax Amsterdam under Ten Hag, but the Dutch are asking around 125 million euros for the duo.(before)
