Manchester United are being faced with the daunting task of undertaking a complete rebuild this summer – and before doing so they should cast a glance at Liverpool.
The yawning gulf in class between the two clubs has never been clearer following Liverpool’s utterly dominant 4-0 win over United at Anfield on Tuesday night.

United are currently in limbo, waiting for their disastrous season to be over so they can get down to the business of building for the future.
