Man United fans express displeasure
Former Manchester United captain Gary Neville revealed that Liverpool winning their 20th title should be a big worry for the club.
According to SkySport, the English international said the management and fans of the Red Devils have to reassess themselves. He said:
"It’s a massive achievement when you think about the league title. You’ll look at the great managers Liverpool have had. The debate over who’s the most successful club can be argued, but the painful thing is that the debate is now over.
“Liverpool is the most successful club in English football; they were miles ahead when Sir Alex Ferguson took over but now they have equalled us.
"It should cause real tremours over at Old Trafford" 🏟️

“True. Couldn't agree more. He was always the man to look up to when the chips were down.”

“While Omar Barreda trousers a £4.2M salary! The rest of the INEOS Executive will also be on millions.”
"The biggest miracle is what Sir Alex achieved post-Glazers while he couldn’t always get his first choice players for the first time. By 2013 he was on ‘fumes’."
@IAMPHOENIX156 posited:
“Do you want to kill the old man, isn't he old enough to be FULLY retired from service!?”
