Gary Lineker can't resist twisting Manchester United 'meme' after Liverpool defeat

Former England striker Gary Lineker has repeated a famous Manchester United 'meme' after Liverpool were beaten by their rivals 2-1 on Monday night.

Jurgen Klopp's side remain without a win in the league this season after two draws against Fulham and Crystal Palace in their first two games.

For United, it's their first win after they were beaten by Brighton and Brentford in their opening matches.

As a result of United's struggles in recent years, a 'meme' has circulated on social media about how pundits describe the historic club. 'This is Manchester United' has become somewhat a joke, with post-match discussions often involving the phrase.

Lineker has now taken to social media with the meme and this time Liverpool are the subject.

"But this is Liverpool. This is Liverpool Football Club," he wrote on Twitter.

Liverpool are next in action against Bournemouth at the weekend and will hope to turn their poor start to the season around. Currently 16th in the table, they're already falling behind their rivals at the league summit.

A home clash against Newcastle United will follow, followed by a Merseyside derby at Goodison Park in early September.
