Liverpool 4-1 Manchester United: Xherdan Shaqiri puts the icing on consummate Reds display with incredible overhead kick at the Michigan Stadium

Liverpool swept aside rivals Manchester United 4-1 at Michigan Stadium in a sure sign that their preparation for the new season is on course.

Sadio Mane opened the scoring from the penalty spot after Demetri Mitchell had brought down Mohamed Salah in the area.

The lead lasted only a matter of minuted however, as United hit back through Andreas Pereira, who beat 19-year-old goalkeeper Kamil Grabara with a well struck free-kick.

Jurgen Klopp's side regained their advantage in the second half when substitutes Xherdan Shaqiri and Daniel Sturridge combined to put the Reds ahead, the former teeing up the latter on the edge of the box.
