Manchester United team is playing against Liverpool today in their fifth friendly match. I have not seen Manchester United players perform well in past friendly matches. Although Manchester United won against Rangers and Real Betis. Even so, their performance was relatively lackluster. Manchester United lost against Arsenal and Rosenborg.
Manchester United are without Harry Maguire and Hojlund due to injury. Hojlund's injury has taken a big toll on Manchester United. We still don't know which player Ten Hag will use to replace Hojlund next season.
At the end of 35 minutes, Liverpool team is leading 1-0 against Manchester United. Liverpool took the lead in the 10th minute with Fabio Carvalho's goal. And after going 1-0 up, Liverpool's players are performing very cautiously. Liverpool players are not trying to attack too much. Liverpool will definitely not want Liverpool players to face injuries in this friendly match. On the other hand, Manchester United's players have been able to attack several times, but have not scored a single goal so far. I am sure Manchester United will lose this match.

Manchester United ended up losing the match and conceded three goals, also, I do not expect Manchester United to win the match against Liverpool because of the injured players they had in their previous game against Real Betis, I believe Ten Hags will do everything not to risk his players, the Premier League has not started, and two players are injured. Ten Hag made the best move by substituting his key players in the second half, Manchester United played an amazing game, attacking Liverpool's home, but luck was not on their side. Manchester United had 8 shots on target but scored nothing, while Liverpool had 5 shots on target and scored three goals.
Hojlund's absence would not affect Manchester United's game because they currently had one more striker who could replace him if he was unable to play. Last season, he was out due to injury and Manchester United did not have a striker to fill the position, perhaps they do not want to have the same problems as last season, which is why they signed Zirkzee to improve their performance.
