While Liverpool might have scored nine goals across two emphatic victories over Manchester United at Old Trafford and Anfield last season, they haven’t enjoyed the best of fortunes against the Red Devils during the Premier League era. Their 2-1 loss to Erik ten Hag’s side last month was their 29th from 61 top-flight clashes since 1992/93.
Winning 18 and drawing 14, Liverpool ’s inferior record over the past three decades is hardly surprising having seen Sir Alex Ferguson ’s almighty United side dominate the first 20 years of Premier League football. Knocking the Reds off their perch in the process, the Scot led the Red Devils to 13 league titles before his retirement in 2013.
As a result, he’d oversee just 11 defeats at the hands of their fierce rivals from his 42 Premier League matches between the two sides at the helm. Meanwhile, he’d oversee 10 victories from 21 Premier League visits to Anfield.
