Manchester United’s winning march in Australia is continuing and after wins against Liverpool, Melbourne Victory and Crystal Palace, Erik ten Hag’s side have set themselves up for a comfortable fourth win.
Ten Hag named another strong lineup for the game, with only two changes made from the side that won against Crystal Palace in Melbourne.
United’s devastating front-four kept their places and Jadon Sancho scored his third goal in four games to give United the lead against Steven Gerrard’s side.

The 22-year-old was involved again minutes later when he found Rashford with a cross, who after a ricochet from Matty Cash, bundled it home to double United’s lead, as seen above.
The second goal provides a decent cushion at half-time and with conditions worsening in Perth, Ten Hag may be tempted to make eleven substitutions to avoid any potential injuries.
