Ferguson plotting to depose Liverpool from list of all time greats
London, May 17 (ANI): Sir Alex Ferguson has set his sights on establishing Manchester United as the most successful team in the history of English football after winning 18 titles — the same number as Liverpool.
Ferguson and his team will be going for a fourth consecutive Premier League crown next season after a tepid stalemate ensured they repelled Liverpool’s challenge with a game still remaining.
The Manchester United boss is plotting to officially depose Liverpool in the list of all-time greats by clinching title No.19 next year.
Asked if it felt special to have equalled Liverpool’s record, Ferguson declared: “It will become a lot more special when we have got in front of them. And that’s what we will be aiming for next year. We are going for it again.â€
“They were the greatest team in the land when I arrived. But we have built slowly and now we will go again,†The Sun quoted him, as saying.
