Liverpool and Manchester United: both teams’ names are etched into football history and both are the two biggest and most famous clubs from this country.
Over the years, we’ve seen the two giants face off time and time again but whilst Liverpool had major success across the 1970’s and 1980’s, they had to contend with a Premier League dominance from Sir Alex Ferguson’s United which started in 1993.
Jurgen Klopp helped deliver their first and only Premier League title in 2020 whilst United haven’t triumphed in England since Ferguson’s final season in charge during the 2012/13 season. Since then, it’s 10 years, and counting, for the Reds Devils, who can only boast two second-place finishes at best since their last title victory.
Klopp has helped to transform Liverpool’s fortunes during that time, reaching three Champions League finals, winning every trophy available to him (except the Europa League) whilst also boasting a strong record of seven wins, seven draws and four lossess against their rivals.
Everyone will point towards the incredible 7-0 victory at Anfield during last season as one of the most incredible games between the two sides, but where does that victory rank in Liverpool’s best ever wins over United?
