In the last pre-season US tour match, Manchester United lost 3-0 against Liverpool, which was a sad result.

Liverpool needed goals from Fabio Carvalho, Curtis Jones, and Konstantinos Tsimikas to give Erik ten Hag and his team a big reality check before the next 2024/25 season.

United had 47% possession while Liverpool’s ball share was 53%.

Ten Hag’s men from their eighteen total strikes at goal managed eight shots on target. Nine rounds were fired by their fierce adversaries; Andre Onana had to step in five of these.

Comprising 455 passes with an 83% pass accuracy, the Red Devils Liverpool stretched 62 passes more with an 85% pass completion rate.

Marcus Rashford stood out at Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia, South Carolina. He began in his preferred left-wing posture in an attacking three including Jadon Sancho in the striker role and Amad Diallo on the other flank.

Rashford was the primary threat to his side; he seemed really sharp.

With 29 touches of the ball and 18 of the 22 passes he tried, the England international effectively found his colleagues throughout the 45-minute session on the pitch, therefore converting into a pass accuracy of 82%.

The forward successfully connected once after looking for a red shirt with three long balls.

Rashford had three shots overall; one was on target with the other two not particularly concerning Caoimhin Kelleher between the sticks for Liverpool.

The 26-year-old academy graduate finished all three dribbles he started.

He also entered three duels and emerged victorious on all three times.

Rashford had a quite poor and demoralizing 2023–24 campaign. In pre-season, though, he seems to be sharping at the bit and eager to atone. His great performance against Liverpool will surely inspire a lot of supporters even if the game finally came down as a loss.
