Published: July 29, 2018

Nigerian winger Sheyi Ojo was amongst the scorers in Liverpool's 4-1 rout of Manchester United in an International Champions Cup tie held at Michigan Stadium (Ann Arbor, Michigan) on Saturday.

The England U21 international replaced Sadio Mane at half-time, while Dominic Solanke who was named in the starting XI was substituted in the 65th minute.

Both teams were level at the break, with Andreas Pereira's 31st minute effort cancelling out Mane's goal from the spot on 28 minutes.

Ojo converted a penalty kick in the 74th minute to make it 3-1 after referee Elfath pointed to the spot for Ander Herrera fouling Andy Robertson in the box, before Xherdan Shaqiri scored with a sensational overhead kick with eight minutes remaining.

Of the seven matches played by Liverpool so far during their pre-season preparations, Ojo has figured in six, against Chester, Borussia Dortmund, Blackburn Rovers, Bury, Tranmere Rovers and United

Liverpool's next friendly will be in Dublin on Saturday, August 4 against Napoli.
