New Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag will have an early chance to test his belief that he can end the era of dominance of Liverpool and Manchester City with a home clash against Jurgen Klopp's side in the first three weeks of the new season.
Ten Hag made the bold claim that he could break the duopoly enjoyed by the two sides in the Premier League in recent years during his first press conference as the new manager at Old Trafford last month.
It will not be long until United fans will get to see Ten Hag's credentials against the top sides as Liverpool visit Old Trafford on August 20, giving the Dutchman an opportunity to avenge the humiliating 5-0 defeat they suffered at the hands of their arch-rivals in the corresponding fixture last season.
The return fixture at Anfield is pencilled in for the weekend of March 4.
