Carvalho, Jones and Tsimikas scored for Slot’s team
Another high-profile sparring match involving top European clubs took place in the USA. In the confrontation between the English giants Liverpool turned out to be much stronger Manchester United — 3:0.
The Reds (who were wearing black) opened the scoring early on through Fabio Carvalho. The Portuguese beat a defender in the penalty area and fired a precise shot into the far bottom corner. Curtis Jones doubled the lead towards the end of the half, heading in a Mohamed Salah cross from inside the goal area.
The Mancunians created chances and could have scored at least one goal, but instead they conceded for the third time – after Andre Onana’s save, Kostas Tsimikas was the first to finish.
Ten Hag’s team didn’t even manage to score a goal of prestige. That’s how new Liverpool coach Arne Sloot triumphed in the confrontation between the Dutch coaches.
The Reds have a friendly with Sevilla a week later, while Liverpool kick off their Premier League season away to Ipswich on August 17. United’s season starts this coming Saturday with a Community Shield match at Wembley against fellow countrymen Manchester City.
