Manchester United vs Liverpool FC live early team news and kick-off time plus how to watch

Manchester United will be hoping to bring their pre-season tour of the United States to a close with a win when they face Liverpool at the Williams-Brice Stadium, kick-off 12.45am BST.

United, who last faced Liverpool in a pre-season fixture two years ago, will be targeting a third win of their pre-season campaign after beating Real Betis 3-2 in midweek. Marcus Rashford, Amad and Casemiro each scored in the first half to seal a thoroughly deserved win.

United are now less than a week away from their first competitive outing of the season and will be determined to head into the Community Shield clash at Wembley with a spring in their step. They have won two and lost two of their opening four friendlies.

Manager Erik ten Hag is likely to use the clash with Liverpool to name as strong a side as possible with a view to preparing for next Saturday's clash with Manchester City. Andre Onana and Mason Mount will be among those targeting recalls.
