Liverpool’s defeat to Manchester United in Thailand has been described as a ‘nothing defeat’ by TalkSport presenter Simon Jordan.
The Reds got their pre-season off to a bad start losing 4-0 to Erik ten Hag’s United side.
Goals from Jadon Sancho, Fred, Anthony Martial and Facundo Pellistri downed the FA and Carabao Cup winners.
However, Liverpool fielded three different line-ups throughout the game and according to Jordan, shouldn’t take notice of such a result.
❌ “Seven out of that Liverpool line-up will not start in the PL.”
🤷♂️ “There is nothing in that result for me besides no adverse press for Utd.”
✅ “If Man Utd had got beat 4-0, that would have been a story.”

Speaking on the defeat, Jordan claimed that: “There is nothing in that result for me besides no adverse press for Utd.”
“If Man Utd had got beat 4-0, that would have been a story,” Jodan added.
“I think you’ll see that there are seven out of that starting line-up today that won’t feature in their starting eleven at the start of the season.”
United fielded virtually a full-strength side with Bruno Fernandes captaining ten Hag’s first line-up but Liverpool’s side featured numerous young talents such as Tyler Morton, Harvey Elliot, Fabio Carvalho, Isaac Mabaya and Luke Chambers.

Former Aston Villa striker Gabby Agbonlahor also mirrored Jordan’s comments claiming the result ‘doesn’t matter’.
Liverpool boasted a 9-0 aggregate score over United in the Premier League last season and the player-turned pundit claims fans are getting a little bit too excited.
“It could be the last time Man United beat Liverpool until the next pre-season!
“Pre-season is about your fitness right and not about results at all so I wouldn’t even look into that”
