Legendary Manchester United manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, has tipped Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool to win the English Premier League, EPL, ahead of Manchester City this season.
Ferguson, who won thirteen EPL titles during his time in charge at Old Trafford, believes the Reds will win the English top-flight league title this term. This is according to former Republic of Ireland international, Jonathan Walters.
Walters claims he was speaking to former Premier League star, Phil Bardsley, who he played alongside at Burnley, about the EPL title race when he mentioned Ferguson’s thoughts on Liverpool and Manchester City’s title chase this campaign.
“I was chatting with Phil Bardsley, and I’m going to drop a name here, he was sat with Sir Alex Ferguson,” Walters said on BBC Radio 5 Live’s Football Daily podcast.
“He sat with him and he thinks Liverpool are going to win it. He thinks Liverpool because he thinks United will get something out of the City game.”
Liverpool are currently on top of the EPL table with 85 points from 34 games, while Man City are second placed with 83 points from 33 games.
