Manchester United compete in the final friendly of their tour of the United States this weekend when they take on great rivals Liverpool.
It’s been a worrying start to the summer for Manchester United, who have already suffered two serious injuries as last season’s problems continue to blight them.
Results have been mixed, with two wins over Rangers and Real Betis and two losses to Rosenborg and Arsenal, so far during pre-season.
Erik ten Hag will be hoping to end the tour on a high before returning to England to face neighbours Manchester City in the Community Shield next week.
But first, there’s Liverpool and here is everything you need to know.

Manchester United vs Liverpool in the pre-season 2024 friendly will take place as follows:

Team news
United will continue to be without Leny Yoro and Rasmus Hojlund after the extent of the injuries they suffered against Arsenal were revealed this week.
Hojlund is set to miss six weeks but new signing Yoro looks to be sidelined for three months due to a metatarsal injury.
The injury woes continued once again against Betis as Marcus Rashford and Antony both hobbled off the field. They have been in training since but Ten Hag does not know if they’ll be ready to face Liverpool.
Here is how United could line up for the match.
Liverpool are hopeful Curtis Jones will be fit after picking up a knock to his knee but are without the likes of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Alexis Mac Allister and Virgil van Dijk as they didn’t make the tour after their international exploits.
Prediction
Liverpool have won their friendlies in the States against Arsenal and Real Betis so will be confident of picking up another win, especially against a weakened United.
Prediction: United 2-3 Liverpool
