After his win versus Newcastle on Wednesday, Liverpool is on its way to a 20th top level in England. If and when Liverpool wins the Premier League this season, Anfield Club will tie Manchester United’s record with 20 top titles.
The importance of Liverpool on the verge of tying that domestic records are massive in English football. Merseyside Club had long been the most successful team in England after its incredible titles in the 1970s to the 1980s.
Before England’s top level, the Premier League was Liverpool won an incredible 18 first division titles to Manchester United’s seven. These glory days for the reds helped Liverpool rise to the top of perch with English football.
But it wasn’t to last long.
United’s success in the Premier League era with 13 titles saw the red devils rising in the ascent. So much so that Sir Alex Ferguson is famous, 2002, “My biggest challenge is not what is happening right now, my biggest challenge was to beat Liverpool just outside their f ** king perch. And you can print it. “
Since the beginning of the Premier League, Liverpool has only won a Premier League title. And it was 2019/20 during the Covid epidemic.
The tables have turned for both clubs. Manchester United’s last Premier League title -victory seems like Eons then. It was during the 2012/13 season, Ferguson’s last season responsible for the Red Devils.
Given how Arne Slot has been an immediate success at Liverpool, as is the strength of its squad, it is much more likely that the reds will skip Manchester United’s 20 titles in the next few years. Especially when considering the mess in which United is currently. Old Trafford Club has had a second round of massive layoffs. And if the club does not win the Europa League this season, thus eliminating their only way into the UEFA Champions League, more cuts are likely to be when the club continues to fall at difficult times.
For anyone who has experienced the rivalry between Liverpool and Manchester United, you know how hard it is.
Among my cousins living in the UK, there is a huge gap between those who support Liverpool and the other half that supports Manchester United. No matter how well Manchester City or Arsenal may have done in previous years when they lifted Premier League trophy, Manchester United supporters always see Liverpool as their number one enemy and vice versa.
How soon will it be before, this time, Liverpool beats Manchester united from his perch?
