Marcus Rashford, Manchester United’s star player last night.
In response to reports suggesting that Rashford could start the season as a striker, Ten Hag warned that Rashford would remain in his position on the left wing.
The England foreigner will bounce back this season after being left out of former England manager Gareth Southgate’s squad for this summer’s European Championship.
After the defeat, Ten Hag will take a look at his team ahead of next season.
Manchester United’s joint bid for Bayern Munich defenders Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui has reportedly been rejected.
De Ligt did not travel with the Bayern team to South Korea for their pre-season matches, indicating his intention to leave Germany.
Both players have reportedly agreed to five-year contract terms with Manchester United.
Liverpool striker Fabio Carvalho, 21, could be coming to the end of his time at the club. Carvalho, keen to secure a regular starting position, has attracted interest from Southampton.
Last year, Carvalho spent spells at RB Leipzig and Hull City, where he won the EFL Young Player of the Month award.
Liverpool manager Arne Slot said: “We are very satisfied with the result, we scored some very clever goals. But I don’t think we had enough with the attack because United threatened us several times. It’s a 3-0 win, but the score may have been different tonight as well.
Liverpool’s next pre-season matches will take place on Sunday. In Sunday’s Spanish clash, Liverpool will face Sevilla and Las Palmas in turn.
The match against Sevilla will be played at Anfield in the presence of fans, while the next kick-off against Las Palmas will be played behind closed doors, broadcast by LFCTV GO.
This exclusive setup is seen as a way to stagger the return of key players, adding Alisson and Van Dijk, as they return from overseas tournaments this summer.
Speaking after the match, Ten Haag said: “The organisation and the staff, they all did a wonderful job. It’s tricky at the end of a tour like this, but we’re really happy with all the effort they put in. “
“We came here together, we worked on our game model and now we have to go back and recover, because it is difficult.
“Now we have to recover and then prepare for the next game, which is a wonderful game. “
Manchester United will face fierce Manchester City in the Community Shield on Saturday.
Manchester United have received another blow in their pre-season tour.
The Red Devils were in action in Liverpool as they concluded their excursion across the Atlantic Ocean.
Arne Slot won 3-0, but Erik ten Hag will be more worried about the injuries he suffered during the match.
Jonny Evans was forced to leave the game at half-time due to illness, while Victor Lindelof also substituted for him.
The coach insisted that substituting for the Swede was a “precaution” but that there will be concerns.
Young Will Fish suffered a “blow” and had to be stretchered off against the Reds.

Eight of Manchester United’s 18 attempts hit the target, but none were enough to beat Caoimhin Kelleher or Vítezslav Jaros.
Manchester United’s pre-season tour of the United States ended in crisis with a 3-0 defeat to Liverpool.
The club’s two bald Dutch leaders hug each other at the final whistle, but in truth, one of them will be much happier with what he saw tonight.
In truth, United played wonderful games, but wasted their goals and made costly mistakes in defense when necessary.
Liverpool, on the other hand, were clinical and were going to use the final third of the game to build momentum for their impressive youngster ensemble.
90. The fourth official signals two minutes of added time.
Do they still count as minutes in the legs if you lose 3-0 to your fierce rivals and the weather is absolutely rainy and miserable?
88. Antony turns and beats Bajcetic near the sideline.
A boy for occasions.
86. Aaron Wan-Bissaka has fallen and needs medical attention.
As South Carolina demonstrated above, it’s not raining but it’s pouring.
The right-back replaces James Scanlon, and one wonders if that could derail his move plan to West Ham.
84. Se have made all the adjustments to this game in terms of gameplay.
Casemiro and Christian Eriksen, wandering around midfield, now look like two parents exasperated by keeping up with an organization of soft-playing toddlers.
82. Seventeen-year-old Trey Nyoni almost snuck in to score the fourth near the post.
Finally, the young man’s shot deflected gently into Onana’s hands.
80. Attendance tonight was officially shown at 77,559 people. Amazing.
Somewhere, the Premier League bigwigs are rubbing together with joy. . .
77. Midfielder Maxi Oyedele has to play in central defence as United are made up of defenders.
Erik ten Hag is possibly making plans to wrap Harry Maguire in cotton wool until August 16.
75. With 15 minutes left, the real joy comes from listening to the club’s internal commentator seeking to perceive all the adjustments that have been made and the teenagers who are now on the lineup.
As for United, there are André Onana, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Casemiro.
72. Fish’s departure causes 3 replacements at United with Oyedele, Murray and Mather present.
Amass and Sancho note that the battered Pez abandons the action.
Both groups are now unrecognisable from those playing in this competition, and are unrecognisable from those who will start the Premier League season in two weeks’ time.
71. It’s the last thing the 77,000 enthusiasts in attendance tonight wanted to see, but Will Fish will leave the box on a stretcher.
Erik ten Hag came out on the pitch to console the youngster, who was visibly disappointed by the injury.
As he leaves, several members of the United bench head to the touchline to wish their teammate luck.
69. Will Fish receives the first yellow card of the match for a late challenge against Harvey Blair.
But there is a greater fear as the United defender remained on the pitch after catching the Liverpool youngster.
Fish holds his ankle and looks uncomfortable.
67. Liverpool make changes midway through the second half.
Two of the 3 scorers of Tsimikas and Carvalho leave with Salah, Elliott, Jota, Gravenberch and Quansah,
Arne Slot is home to Endo, Bajcetic, Chambers, Phillips, Doak, Morton, and Blair.
65. Oh, Wheatley has made an instant impression.
The ball kindly unearths the young substitute in the box, who reacts by firing a shot straight at Jaros.
Over any of the goalkeepers and that would have been included.
63. Erik ten Hag responded to this 3. Liverpool with 3 more substitutions.
Antony replaces Amad Diallo, Christian Eriksen replaces Mason Mount and Ethan Wheatley replaces Toby Collyer.
61. Manchester United are taught a lesson.
I’m sure what that lesson is, but suspicion has something to do with taking risks.
That’s precisely what Liverpool did, and although they didn’t do it at first, they didn’t take long to attack.
Here’s a clever example: Mo Salah and Conor Bradley exchange a pass down the right before this last cut for Diogo Jota, and Andre Onana saves the Portuguese foreigner well, Kostas Tsimilkas is in the right position to attack from a close diversity.
There were two offsides before the goal, but when luck is bad, luck is bad.
