Liverpool, Manchester United To Clash In Bangkok As Premier League Clubs Resume Tours
Liverpool and Manchester United will meet in a high-profile friendly in Bangkok in July, the clubs said on Thursday, as Premier League teams resume lucrative pre-season tours which stopped when Covid hit. After the July 12 clash in the Thai capital, Cristiano Ronaldo and his United team-mates will fly to Australia for two more friendlies, including a clash with Crystal Palace, at the 100,000-capacity Melbourne Cricket Ground. Before the pandemic shut down overseas tours, usually to Asia and the United States, they were a regular money-spinner for Premier League sides -- even if managers don't like the travel, hot weather and sometimes questionable pitches.
