In the match at Williams-Brice Stadium, both Liverpool and Man Utd fielded strong squads and created a lively attacking game.
MU had two good chances to score early on, but Mason Mount missed both. The English midfielder’s two attempts to finish were not able to beat Liverpool’s goalkeeper.
On the other hand, Liverpool showed a much better ability to take advantage of opportunities. With two situations of attacking on the wing, the Merseyside representative earned 2 goals.
In the 10th minute, Fabio Carvalho comfortably dribbled the ball in the circle of 3 red-shirted players, before shooting diagonally, defeating Andre Onana. In the 36th minute, the MU defense was helpless as Mohamed Salah rushed in to cushion the ball close to the goal, after a cross from Curtis Jones.
The first half ended with a score of 2-0 in favor of Liverpool. On the MU side, Wan-Bissaka and Casemiro were disappointed with their slow handling. Mason Mount will also find it difficult to replace Bruno Fernandes when entering the new season. Number 7 pressed hard but still did not have the best feeling in the decisive moments.
In the second half, MU sent a group of young players onto the field. The “Red Devils” continued to play with dedication and created many opportunities. However, McTominay, Whetley, and Casemiro could not take advantage.
In the 61st minute, MU’s net shook for the third time. Wan-Bissaka was helpless against Tsimikas’ close-range rebound in the 61st minute.
MU finished their last friendly match of the summer and will return to England to prepare for the Super Cup match against Man City at Wembley on August 10. At that time, MU will welcome new player Joshua Zirkzee. The Dutch player is working hard to make his debut in the Old Trafford team’s shirt.
