JAKARTA - Manchester United (MU) managed to beat Liverpool when they met in the pre-season match, Bangkok Century Cup. This victory made them entitled to a trophy, but the opportunity to bring home the trophy was not taken by the Red Devils.

When appearing in Bangkok, MU managed to beat Liverpool with a score of 4-0. The score was created through the actions of Jadon Sancho, Fred, Anthony Martial, and Facundo Pellistri.

Victory in Bangkok is also causing fanfare. A number of parties satirized MU by calling this victory an end to the thirst for a title that had lasted for five years.

In addition, the excitement also arose because the trophy won by MU had an unusual shape.

In fact, what became the main focus was when MU, who was the winner, did not take it home and left the trophy in Bangkok.

This raises the pros and cons among Thai football lovers. They feel MU does not respect the organizers. In addition, there are those who think that the organizers are inefficient in making the trophy because it is too big.

Regarding this, the Fresh Air Festival as the organizer gave an explanation. Quoted from National Thailand, they said they would send the trophy directly to the Red Devils headquarters, Old Trafford.

Organizers also said the reason United did not take the trophy home was because they had to head straight to Australia for another pre-season tour. This made it difficult for Erik Ten Hag's team to bring the trophy to participate in their journey.

In addition, the trophy is still in Bangkok because the local media asked for more time to see the trophy up close.
