Man Utd vs Liverpool LIVE: Updates and confirmed team news from pre-season friendly

There is no place in United’s starting line-up for new arrival Tyrell Malacia, who has been named among the substitutes for today’s match against Liverpool.

A number of academy prospects will also be involved in some capacity, with the likes of Zidane Iqbal, Charlie Savage and Alejandro Garnacho having been selected as part of Erik ten Hag’s first matchday squad.

Cristiano Ronaldo, of course, is absent after he was granted additional time off to deal with a family issue.
