Fergie sets sights on Reds record
While England and Scotland are gripped by World Cup fever, Sir Alex Ferguson is contemplating overhauling Liverpool as the most successful side in England.
Liverpool hold the record for league title wins, with 18 trophies to their name. The Anfield’s club’s last league title came way back in 1990 and as such Manchester United have whittled away at their lead during a period of Old Trafford dominance.
Last season’s victory took The Red Devils to 17 titles and a third successive Premier League crown would bring the great rivals level.
It would appear Ferguson has mused about the subject as he has admitted Liverpool are in his sights.
”I’ve been asked the question about levelling Liverpool’s total quite a lot since we won our last title,” said Ferguson. “We are on 17 now and Liverpool on 18, so maybe it’s natural that people will talk about it.
”I haven’t placed a lot of significance on it. The way I see it is that, at some point, we will win more titles and hopefully get to the position of being level with, or better than, Liverpool’s 18.”
