LeBron James praises Man United

It’s been a hectic summer for LeBron James as he’s left the Cleveland Cavaliers to join the LA Lakers.

LeBron James has agreed a four-year deal worth $154 million to move to the west coast.

This week the NBA star has sat down with ESPN to discuss why he made the move to LA. And during his sit-down, LeBron decided to compare his current employers to Liverpool’s eternal rivals Man United:

The Lakers haven’t been to the playoffs in a few years, but the Lakers organisation is a historical franchise.

You look at the Cowboys, the Patriots, Manchester United, these are historical franchises.

Manchester United 1 – Liverpool 4

It was only pre-season, but Liverpool thrashed Man United 4-1 in America on Saturday night.

The pick of the goals in the Man United vs Liverpool game came from Xherdan Shaqiri.

Shaqiri capped off Liverpool’s win against their eternal rivals as the Swiss star scored a brilliant overhead volley.

Liverpool took the lead against Man United from the penalty spot.

That’s after Mo Salah won a spot-kick in the Reds box following a high-foot from Demetri Mitchell. Sadio Mane made no mistake with the spot-kick.

Man United levelled with a stunner of their own. Andreas Pereira curled home a brilliant free-kick from distance as Man United headed into the break 1-1 with the Reds.

After the interval Daniel Sturridge put Liverpool back in front. Sturridge tucked the ball home after excellent work from Shaqiri in the build-up.

Liverpool took a 3-1 lead in the second half through a Sheyi Ojo penalty.
