In a dazzling show of skill and teamwork, Liverpool triumphed over their fiercest rivals, Manchester United, with a resounding 3-0 victory in their final friendly match of the pre-season tour in the USA. The action unfolded at Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia, South Carolina, where a whopping 77,559 fans witnessed the magic of Liverpool's attack. The Reds proved their dominance right from the first half, with Fabio Carvalho and Curtis Jones finding the net to give Liverpool a solid lead before half-time.

Ryan Gravenberch and Ibrahima Konate made notable appearances as Liverpool aimed to solidify their squad after a whirlwind transfer window. The chemistry on the pitch was palpable, and it became increasingly clear that under the guidance of head coach Arne Slot, Liverpool has built an exciting, attacking side ready to challenge for titles. Mohamed Salah remained a constant threat, demonstrating that his sharpness is back after a quieter previous season as he supported his teammates relentlessly.

The second half saw Kostas Tsimikas add another goal to Liverpool's tally, shutting down any hopes of a comeback from Manchester United. With each passing minute, it became evident that Liverpool not only had the advantage in terms of skill but also in confidence, while United’s lineup faced yet another difficult outing, riddled with injury woes.
