Erik ten Hag could barely have dreamt of a better start to his Manchester United tenure as his side beat rivals Liverpool 4-0 in their first pre-season game in Bangkok on Monday.

Of course, the Dutchman will put little value on results at this point in proceedings and their opponents were nowhere near full strength, but he must have been pleased with what he saw from his team.

The next stop on their pre-season tour is Australia, and Friday sees them take on Melbourne Victory at the MCG.

Their opponents finished second in the A-League last season so should offer Man Utd a good game in front of a packed house.

Despite being more than 10,000 miles away from Manchester, there could well be a familiar face there to greet them at the MCG as Nani has just signed for Melbourne Victory and could make his debut on Friday.

That will be of little interest to ten Hag, of course, who will be fully focused on his team and want to see more of the work they’ve put in on the training ground reflected on the pitch.

The Liverpool game offered an idea of what we can expect from Man Utd during the Dutchman’s tenure but it’s important they continue to progress as the start of the Premier League season draws nearer.
