Jose Mourinho said he wouldn’t have wanted to pay money to watch this match – but the Manchester United manager had to admit there were a couple sparkling goals.

Xherdan Shaqiri scored a spectacular bicycle kick in the 82nd minute, capping a three-goal second half for Liverpool in a 4-1 victory over Manchester United on Saturday.

Sadio Mane, Daniel Sturridge and Sheyi Ojo also scored for Liverpool in this International Champions Cup match at Michigan Stadium.

Manchester United were without stars Paul Pogba and Romelu Lukaku, both of whom are coming off deep World Cup runs. Mourinho bemoaned the state of some of his sides in this pre-season tournament, saying American fans deserve to see teams at their best.

“The atmosphere was good, but if I was them I wouldn’t come. I wouldn’t come. I wouldn’t spend my money to see these teams,” Mourinho said. “These people, I think they show how much they love their clubs. ... There were two beautiful goals.”
