In the 2024 summer US tour, Man United vs Liverpool is one of the arranged matches. Even though we know that the match does not bring together all the top stars of the two teams at the present time, just the two names are enough to attract attention.
This summer, Man United played 4 friendly matches, not including penalty shootouts, they won 2 and lost 2. 6 goals through 4 matches may be encouraging statistics, but 5 goals lost and a succession of cases. Injuries are not very happy signals.
Of course, pre-season friendlies are not too important, but at Man United, after a disappointing 2023-2024 season, people still want to see something called "lines" in the gameplay. 4 matches have passed, we haven't seen that from the "Red Devils".

Meanwhile, Liverpool had personnel changes when Arne Slot succeeded Jurgen Klopp as coach. Unlike Man United, Liverpool showed that their choice was carefully calculated to inherit the legacy that Klopp left behind.
The Kop have not had any transfers this summer, but with the new coach, they won 2 matches against Real Betis and Arsenal. They also do not have full staff at this time.
So the "Red Brigade" will be an important test for the "Red Devils" before playing the Community Shield match with Man City.
