Strettycast 145: Perfect start to pre-season with 4-0 win over Liverpool

The Strettycast is a leading podcast for Manchester United fans brought to you by StrettyNews.com.

I run through some talking points from Erik ten Hag’s first game in charge.

The Dutchman marked the occasion with a strong starting line-up, with Bruno Fernandes named as captain, while Harry Maguire sat out the game due to a minor injury.

We also come away from Bangkok after beating the Scousers 4-0! A fantastic day at the office, but we are not naive enough to suggest the rest of Ten Hag’s journey will be plain sailing.

We suspect there will be a few bumps along the way even if the early signs are encouraging.

I take a look at Ten Hag’s approach to the game and some of the noticeable tactics from the first 90 minutes. The centre-backs were adventurous, our full-backs pressed high up the pitch and we created plenty of chances in the first-half.
