Full time – Man Utd 0-3 Liverpool

Manchester United’s pre-season tour of the US comes to a crashing end with a 3-0 defeat to Liverpool.

 

The club’s two bald Dutch managers share an embrace at the final whistle, but in truth one will be much happier with what he has seen this evening.

 

In truth, United played well for large parts, but were wasteful in front of goal, and made costly mistakes at the back when it mattered.

 

Liverpool, in contrast, were clinical, and were able to use the final third of the match to give run-outs to their array of impressive youngsters.

90. The fourth official signals two minutes of added time.

 

Do they still count as minutes in the legs if you’re 3-0 down to your fierce rivals and it’s thoroughly wet and miserable?

 

Today, 02:36

88. Antony just spins and tricks his way past Bajcetic on the near touchline.

 

A man for the big occasion.

Man Utd 0-3 Liverpool

86. Now Aaron Wan-Bissaka has gone down and is in need of medical attention.

 

As South Carolina proved earlier, it doesn’t rain but it pours.

 

The right-back is substituted for James Scanlon, and you wonder if that could scupper his proposed move to West Ham.

 

Today, 02:33

Man Utd 0-3 Liverpool

84. All the changes have done for this game in terms of its flow.

 

Casemiro and Christian Eriksen roaming around midfield now resembles two exasperated fathers trying to keep pace with a load of toddlers at soft play.

82. Seventeen-year-old Trey Nyoni almost wriggles in to score a fourth at the near post.

 

In the end, the youngster’s shot is deflected kindly into the hands of Onana.

80. Tonight’s attendance is officially confirmed as 77, 559. Astonishing.

 

Somewhere, Premier League bigwigs are rubbing their hands in glee…

77. Midfielder Maxi Oyedele is having to play at centre-back as United have run out of defenders.

 

Erik ten Hag may be considering wrapping Harry Maguire in cotton wool until August 16th.

Man Utd 0-3 Liverpool

75. With 15 minutes remaining, the real joy comes with listening to each club’s in-house commentator trying to get to grips with all the changes that have been made, and the youngsters that are now on show.

 

In terms of United, Andre Onana, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Casemiro are still all out there.

 

Today, 02:23

72. Fish’s departure is the trigger for three more United substitutes with Oyedele, Murray and Mather all on.

 

Amass and Sancho join the stricken Fish in departing the action.

 

Both sides are now unrecognisable from the ones that started this contest, and are unrecognisable from the ones that will kick off the Premier League season in two weeks.

71. It’s the last thing that the 77,000 fans here this evening wanted to see but Will Fish will leave the pitch on a stretcher.

 

Erik ten Hag has made his way to the pitch in order to console the youngster, who is clearly distraught by the injury.

 

As he leaves, several of the United bench make their way out to the touchline to wish their teammate well.

 

Today, 02:19

69. Will Fish picks up the game’s first yellow card for a late challenge on Harvey Blair.

 

But there’s a bigger concern because the United defender has stayed down after catching the Liverpool youngster.

 

Fish is holding his ankle, and looks in real discomfort.

67. Liverpool make wholesale changes midway through the second period.

 

Two of the three goalscorers in Tsimikas and Carvalho head off along with Salah, Elliott, Jota, Gravenberch and Quansah,

 

On for Arne Slot’s side are Endo, Bajcetic, Chambers, Phillips, Doak, Morton and Blair.

65. Oh, Wheatley should have made an instant impression.

 

The ball finds kindly for the young substitute in the box, who reacts by thumping a shot straight at Jaros.

 

Either side of the goalkeeper and that would have been in.

 

Today, 02:12

Man Utd 0-3 Liverpool

63. Erik ten Hag has responded to that third Liverpool with three more changes.

 

Antony is on for Amad Diallo, Christian Eriksen takes over from Mason Mount, and Ethan Wheatley replaces Toby Collyer.

61. Manchester United are being taught a lesson.

 

I’m not exactly sure what that lesson is, but suspect is something to do with taking your chances.

 

It’s exactly what Liverpool have done, and even when they haven’t initially, they’ve been quick to pounce.

 

Here’s a case in point: Mo Salah and Conor Bradley exchange passes down the right before the latter pulls back for Diogo Jota – and although Andre Onana saves well from the Portuguese international, Kostas Tsimilkas is in the right place to tap home from close range.

 

There was probably two offsides in the build-up to the goal, but when your luck’s out, your luck’s out.

It’s three!

58. United are pushing again.

 

Casemiro isn’t tall enough to head in at the far post and his slight touch is enough to take the ball away from McTominay racing in behind.

 

Today, 02:04

Man Utd 0-2 Liverpool

56. Great feet by McTominay! Must be! No!

 

The Scottish substituted looked destined to bring Manchester United back into the game there after controlling well in the area and beating Tsimikas to leave himself with a free shot at goal.

 

But Liverpool’s reserve goalkeeper Jaros was off his line quickly, and just about got a boot on the effort to turn it behind for a corner.

53. Young Harry Amass shows his ability at both ends of the pitch.

 

First, the 17-year-old twists and turns away from Conor Bradley to step up a cross that Sepp van den Berg almost chests past his own goalkeeper.

 

Then seconds later, the teenager makes up ground on a rampaging Salah to cleanly tackle the Liverpool legend before he can get his shot away.

51. That’s less impressive from Amad, who makes an awful mess of a shot after a cross is flicked on through a crowded penalty area.

 

The Ivorian snatches at the opportunity at the far post, somehow thumping the ball into the ground and back from where it came.

 

Today, 01:56

Man Utd 0-2 Liverpool

49. The second half starts with a mazy run from Amad that sees him take on one, two, three, four Liverpool defenders.

 

The exciting dart ends with a cynical shirt pull from Tsimikas and a Casemiro scuffed effort straight at Jaros.

Kick-off – Man Utd 0-2 Liverpool

46. The half-time interval was packed with a disco and a light show, but now the action is over and it’s time for the football to take over.

 

Manchester United have made three changes at the break with Will Fish, Rhys Bennett and Scott McTominay on for Jonny Evans, Victor Lindelof and Marcus Rashford.

 

It’s two changes for opponents Liverpool with goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher off for Vítezslav Jaros, and centre-back Ibrahima Konate replaced by Sepp van den Berg.
