Manchester United Go To Liverpool

Sir Alex Ferguson

Manchester United make the short jour­ney to Mer­sey­side this Sunday to take on Kenny Dalglish´s Liv­er­pool team whose pride prob­ably is still hurt­ing after they were de­feated by their bit­ter his­tor­ical rivals in the FA Cup Third Round in Janu­ary. The home side have won eight, drawn two and lost two games at An­field this sea­son, while Sir Alex Ferguson´s play­ers have won four, drawn eight and lost two matches away from Old Trafford.

Sir Alex Fer­guson: “It was said last sea­son that it was the end of the golden era for Eng­lish soc­cer, but the evid­ence is there to dis­prove that. Tot­ten­ham Hot­spur and Ar­senal both had im­press­ive wins and you just have to look at the re­cord of Eng­lish clubs for the last seven years. Manchester United have reg­u­larly been in semi fi­nals and the club have been in two fi­nals, Ar­senal have been in one fi­nal, Chelsea have been in one fi­nal and Liv­er­pool in two fi­nals. The Barclays Premier League is no ques­tion a great league. How­ever, Tot­ten­ham Hot­spur have re­placed Liv­er­pool as the fourth club and they are improving.”

Manchester United have not beaten Liv­er­pool away since Decem­ber 2007.
