Liverpool will play Manchester City in the Community Shield at the end of the month, while the Red Devils are preparing for their Premier League opener against Brighton & Hove Albion on August 7.
The highly-rated Dutchman, Erik ten Hag, will take charge of Manchester United for the first time on Tuesday. The 20-time English champions will kick off their preseason with a glamorous friendly against fierce rivals, Liverpool.
The club has six games scheduled before the start of their Premier League season against Brighton. It will be interesting to see how the Red Devils fare in 2022–23 under ten Hag’s management.
Although Liverpool’s 2021–22 season was disappointing, with the club coming second to Manchester City in the Premier League standings and falling to Real Madrid in the Champions League final, they did manage to win the FA Cup and EFL Cup double the previous year.
In the upcoming season, the Reds will attempt to challenge Man City for first place in the Premier League, and head coach Jurgen Klopp will once more hold his players to the highest standards.
Sadio Mane, who has been so important to the team’s success in recent years, has been permitted to join Bayern Munich. Takumi Minamino, Marko Grujic, Divock Origi, Ben Woodburn, Sheyi Ojo, and Loris Karius have also left the club, but there have been three new arrivals at Anfield.
Young, talented players like Fabio Carvalho and Calvin Ramsey have come from Fulham and Aberdeen, respectively. Darwin Nunez, a statement acquisition from Benfica, will look to show what Man United is missing on Tuesday, with the striker expected to play a role.
CONCLUSION:
Results are rarely significant during the preseason, but both managers are focused on winning this match.
Ten Hag is aware of the criticism that would be levelled at Manchester United in the event of a crushing loss, whereas a defeat for Liverpool would be viewed as a setback regardless of the quality of the game.
KICKOFF TIME: Liverpool versus Manchester United match will be played on Tuesday at 2PM Nigerian time.
