Liverpool Player Ratings: Fabio Carvalho Wonderful as One Classy in Man United Win

Liverpool player performance was rated by Echo’s Paul Gorst following their 3-0 win over Manchester United in pre-season.

Liverpool wrapped up their three-game tour of the United States with a decisive 3-0 victory over Manchester United in Columbia. This match followed a 1-0 win against Real Betis in Pittsburgh and a 2-1 victory over Arsenal in Philadelphia. The Reds concluded their American tour with an impressive performance at the Williams-Brice Stadium on Friday.

Here is a look at how each player fared as Arne Slot’s team delivered another strong showing before heading back to Merseyside.

Caoimhin Kelleher 8

The goalkeeper delivered an exceptional performance, thwarting attempts from Mount twice, as well as Rashford and Collyer in the first half. His impressive display is likely to attract transfer interest this month, as he’s too skilled to remain on the bench.

Conor Bradley 7

The Northern Irish player exhibited his usual bright and energetic style. He made several forward surges that nearly created opportunities, though he sometimes lacked the final touch. This is expected to improve over time.

Ibrahima Konate 6

A risky pass into midfield led to a Liverpool loss of possession, but such rough edges are anticipated in his first appearance for some time. The key takeaway is the valuable game time he gained. He was substituted at halftime.

Jarell Quansah 6

At times, Quansah displayed class in possession but faced a challenging test from Rashford. He managed the situation well and was substituted in the second half. He is developing into a significant player for Liverpool.

Kostas Tsimikas 7

Tsimikas was a constant presence down the left flank, effectively intercepting several long passes and demonstrating good situational awareness. His crucial block to prevent a Wan-Bissaka cross and subsequent tap-in were highlights of an excellent evening for Liverpool.

Ryan Gravenberch 7

Gravenberch showcased some elegant touches and turns in his first appearance of the summer. Considering he had limited play towards the end of last season and missed the Euros, his performance was promising.

Curtis Jones 7

Jones lost possession a few times in risky areas but maintained his confidence. He was eager to receive the ball in deeper positions and made enough forward runs to score a tap-in from Salah’s cross.

Harvey Elliott 7

Elliott appeared very comfortable as the most advanced central midfielder. His role is evolving into that of a No.10, and his skillset fits this position naturally. He impressed once again, continuing to be a standout performer Stateside.

Mohamed Salah 8

In the first half, Salah’s blistering run almost broke through United’s defense before he ran out of space. The Egyptian star appeared revitalized in his third summer appearance, delivering an assist across the goal after skillfully evading Collyer, showcasing his trademark brilliance.

Diogo Jota 6

Jota earned an assist, but it was primarily due to the quality of his finish. He was otherwise subdued but is expected to have a significant season, provided he maintains his fitness. He could have scored before Tsimikas’s tap-in.

Fabio Carvalho 8

Carvalho demonstrated wonderful skill by evading Casemiro with a deft move, then scoring with a left-footed finish to put the Reds ahead 1-0. Although he considers himself a No.10, he has performed excellently on the left side during this pre-season, with two goals in as many games.

Viteslav Jaros 8

Jaros made a reliable early save from Casemiro, and his subsequent stop against McTominay was outstanding. A crucial save on a deep cross at 3-0, followed by another impressive stop from substitute Wheatley, highlighted his performance.

Sepp van Den Berg 6

Van den Berg had another solid performance, continuing to demonstrate why he deserves a place at the club. His tour has been commendable overall.

Trey Nyoni 6

Coming on for Jones, Nyoni showcased why he is highly regarded with glimpses of his potential. He is certainly a promising talent for the future, with an anticipated standout season in the academy.

Wataru Endo 6

Endo maintained the flow of play at 3-0 with his short, simple passes and consistently anticipated danger effectively.

Ben Doak 7

Doak was a persistent threat to United’s defense, cutting inside on his weaker left foot and shooting over the bar during one notable dribble. He kept United under pressure throughout the closing stages.

Harvey Blair 7

Blair dazzled with a burst of pace that left Will Fish behind, leading to a foul on him. His sharpness and skill were evident in several of his touches.

Nat Phillips 6

Phillips showed his usual aggressiveness during a corner, where he had the potential to score.

Tyler Morton 6

Morton maintained his consistent, tidy performance and demonstrated that he is a step ahead of many of his peers on the tour. He will be important to have on the field this season.

Luke Chambers 6

Chambers frequently made overlapping runs to support Nyoni, adding balance and width to the play.

Stefan Bajcetic 7

Bajcetic showcased a remarkable piece of skill in midfield that sparked a dangerous attack for Liverpool. His classy play while in possession indicates he could be a significant contributor if he remains fit.

Luca Stephenson 6

Stephenson made several forward runs and supported Doak effectively. He can be quite satisfied with his performance during this tour.
