What Are Manchester United's Biggest Rivalries?
Manchester United’s success under Alex Ferguson saw the growth of rivalries with Arsenal and Chelsea, but their traditional rivals, Manchester City and Liverpool, are still more significant.
United were miles ahead of City for years, but that has altered over the last few seasons with United dropping out of title contention and City becoming one of the best teams in Europe.
The Liverpool rivalry is partly geographic, though it’s primarily to do with trophies. Alex Ferguson made it his goal to topple Liverpool and he did just that, passing their league title total and lifting United’s 20th.
Liverpool have the upper hand again at the moment, however. Will Jurgen Klopp's men lift the Premier League title in 2019/20?
