Rio Ferdinand has urged the likes of Jude Bellingham and Declan Rice to snub Liverpool in favour of a move to Manchester United.
Less than 12 months ago, Jurgen Klopp’s side were head and shoulders above their old rivals, thrashing them 4-0 last April. At the time, United interim boss Ralf Rangnick said it could take the Red Devils six years before they caught up with Liverpool.
However, under Erik ten Hag, United have enjoyed a rapid recovery, topped off with winning the Carabao Cup at Wembley last weekend. And that resurgence has coincided with Liverpool’s standards slipping and their team no longer looking as resilient as it once did.
