The Red Devils are preparing for their Premier League debut against Brighton & Hove Albion on August 7, while Liverpool will play Manchester City in the Community Shield later this month.
Erik ten Hag will manage Man United for the first time on Tuesday, when the 20-time English champions face bitter rivals Liverpool in a preseason friendly.
The Red Devils have six games before the start of the 2022-23 Premier League season against Brighton, and it will be interesting to see how they perform under the highly-rated Dutchman.
Man United completed last season without a title and placed sixth in the Premier League standings, therefore they will participate in the Europa League this season. Cristiano Ronaldo is not with the club in Thailand due to a personal matter, but he might play in Australia.
The Red Devils will play Melbourne Victory, Crystal Palace, and Aston Villa in their next three matches before returning to Europe to face Atletico Madrid and Rayo Vallecano back-to-back days before their 2022-23 league opener.
The 20-time English champions are connected with a lot of players, but have only signed Tyrell Malacia from Feyenoord. The Netherlands international might make his debut in this match and seems like a wise purchase.
Man United is going through a terrible phase, yet last season was so bad that undoubtedly there would be progress this year. With more new recruits expected, there are reasons to be optimistic despite their problems.
Despite Liverpool’s 2021-22 season ending in dissatisfaction due to the team’s poor performance in the Premier League (coming in second place, behind Manchester City in the standings) and in the Champions League (losing the final to Real Madrid), the club was successful in the domestic cup competitions, taking home both the FA Cup and the EFL Cup.
In the next season of the Premier League, Jurgen Klopp, the head coach of the Liverpool football team, will continue to expect his players to perform at the greatest possible level in order to compete with Manchester City for the title of Premier League champions.
