Old Trafford legend Rio Ferdinand may be regretting the optimistic verdict he delivered on Manchester United last summer after his former club were humiliated by Liverpool once again.
The Red Devils were thrashed 4-0 at Anfield on Tuesday night having also suffered a 5-0 drubbing by their arch-rivals back in October. United had no answer for Liverpool's dazzling attackers, midfield dominance and defensive solidity, showing why one team is challenging for the Premier League title and the other is struggling in the race for the top four.
Few predicted Liverpool would be 22 points ahead of United at this stage of the season last summer, on the back of their dismal 2020/21 campaign.
