Fabio Carvalho： FIVE THINGS WE LEARNED as Liverpool beat fierce rivals Manchester United in South Carolina

Liverpool put on a show for an expectant sell-out crowd in Columbia, South Carolina and thrashed bitter English rivals Manchester United after goals from Fabio Carvalho, Curtis Jones and Kostas Tsimikas.
It completes a clean sweep for Arne Slot on the three-game tour of the United States after also beating Real Betis and Arsenal in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia respectively. The Dutchman heads home with a smile on his face.
He will be boosted by the returns of several key men this week, with the likes of Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk and Darwin Nunez planned to report back to training in the coming days.

Carvalho staking his claim
Fabio Carvalho is one of many with an uncertain future at Liverpool after spending last season on loan at RB Leipzig and Hull City. But on the basis of his three matches on the tour of America, the Portugal-born star is certainly staking a claim to stick around.
The 21-year-old is understood to want to stay at Anfield and has held talks with new manager Slot over his best position. Carvalho thinks he is best in the No 10 role but Slot has told him he might be better served as a winger.
He has played all three Stateside friendlies on the left and has put in three solid performances, scoring in both of the Rivals in Red series against Arsenal and Manchester United. He keeps possession well and gets into dangerous areas.
There is a lot of interest in Carvalho for a permanent move this summer, with Premier League clubs and many on the continent keeping tabs, but after this pleasing tour there is no reason why he can’t break into Slot’s plans.
