Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has challenged his young players to prove themselves on tour.

Charlie Savage and Zidane Iqbal are among youngsters included in the squad in Thailand.

Ten Hag said, “What I want to see is that they learn but also they show themselves because they have to deserve a position in top football.

"You have to deserve your position. It means you have to deliver every day, that demands a certain style, a certain way of life that they have to adapt to, that they probably don't know yet. But I am really looking forward to seeing if they can do it.

"I hope one or two, they can prove themselves and they come into the squad but, if they want to enter the dressing room, they have to deserve it."

On facing Liverpool, Ten Hag stated: "It's important, they are good tests, a playing level you have to face in every game so, immediately, you know we want to transfer our way of playing and we can test that. What I say is it's really good to do that immediately against opponents who will then be your opponents."
