Louis Saha claims Liverpool will not be as big as Manchester United
The Reds currently stand on 19 championship wins, one adrift of Man United
Louis Saha, former Manchester United and Everton striker, has claimed that Liverpool will never be as big a club as United, even if they match their record of league titles.
Liverpool are currently five points clear at the top of the Premier League, following a 2-0 home win over Aston Villa on Saturday.
The Reds now have 19 top-flight titles, one behind United’s record of 20, which was set in the 2012/13 season.
Meanwhile, Manchester United sit in 13th place after 11 games, entering the international break with recent managerial turmoil.
The club parted ways with Erik ten Hag and appointed Ruben Amorim, the manager of Sporting Lisbon, as his replacement.
However, Saha remains firm in his belief that Manchester United will always be the bigger club, regardless of any future success by Liverpool, who have won more trophies than any other English club.
“Even if Liverpool equal Manchester United’s league titles, I don’t think they will be as big a club,” he said.
“Liverpool are huge, but looking at the fanbases around the world there is no match for United.
“Imagine if United had the success that Manchester City or even Liverpool have had in recent years and think about how big that would’ve been around the world.
“The commercial aspect and range are enormous when it comes to United, the club has something very special about it and it’s completely unique.
“I love the way Liverpool are playing and they are great for the Premier League, but Manchester United still have the edge.”
