Arguably the Premier League’s fiercest derby takes place in the United States this weekend when Manchester United meet Liverpool for a pre-season friendly.
With the Community Shield looming, this will be Erik ten Hag’s last chance to watch his players in action before stepping out at Wembley against Manchester City.
The Red Devils downed Real Betis earlier this week to make it two wins from four in a summer which has been marred by injuries in rather typical fashion.
Liverpool have also gotten the better of Betis before overcoming Arsenal in a bright start to Arne Slot’s debut pre-season in the dugout.

Man Utd vs Liverpool is scheduled for a 12.30am BST kick-off in the early hours of Sunday August 4, 2024.
The match will take place at Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia, South Carolina.
