Liverpool 3-0 Man Utd: Carvalho, Jones and Tsimikas on target in easy Reds win

Liverpool completed a 100% record on their three-match US tour as Arne Slot’s side eased to an impressive 3-0 win against Manchester United in Columbia.

In front of a 77,559 – the biggest non-US football crowd at the William-Brice stadium – Fabio Carvalho put Liverpool ahead after 10 minutes when he took advantage of some slack defending inside the area from Casemiro.

Then Mo Salah’s excellent close control beat United youngster Toby Collyer on the touchline, before the Egypt forward burst to the byline to set up Curtis Jones with a low cross after 36 minutes.

Kostantinos Tsimikas seized on a loose ball to add a third goal in the 61st minute after Andre Onana failed to hold Diogo Jota’s instinctive first-time effort.

New Liverpool boss Slot will know judgement on how he succeeds as Jurgen Klopp’s replacement will not be based around pre-season games, but the former Feyenoord man will be delighted at the outcome of his side’s Stateside trip ahead of their Premier League opener against newly-promoted Ipswich in a fortnight.

A difficult night for United was made even worse by what appeared to be a serious injury to young defender Will Fish, who left the field on a stretcher after coming off worst when he fouled Harvey Blair.

The result meant United lost to both Premier League opponents on their US trip, having been beaten by Arsenal at the SoFi Stadium seven days earlier.

They did beat Real Betis in between and, like Liverpool, have a number of key men to welcome back into the fold after Euro 2024 and Copa America commitments, when they return to training next week.
