In Erik ten Hag's first game as manager, Manchester United defeated Liverpool and received a trophy. Tuesday's celebration was required by contract as United was receiving the Bangkok Centenary Cup.
Bruno Fernandes, who had served as United's captain to open the game, and Ten Hag jointly raised the trophy. United has relocated to Australia to continue preseason training, with fixtures in Melbourne against Melbourne Victory and Crystal Palace and a friendly encounter in Perth against Aston Villa coming up.
Against a Liverpool team that was hardly familiar with United, they ran riot. It was clear Liverpool viewed this game as little more than a fitness exercise to benefit their whole squad. Losing to your rivals by this scoreline always hurts, but Klopp and his side won't dwell on it for long.
The result should be taken with a pinch of salt under the circumstances but any victory over Liverpool is worth a little celebration. Ten Hag will not get carried away given Liverpool are behind United in terms of pre-season preparations and started with a far less experienced team, but there were certainly welcome signs of quality and potential.
