Liverpool would be much more of a threat that United with the players they might attract for being in the CL.
Plus they are a very inconsistent club, they’re always having up seasons and down seasons:
2016-17 4th on 76 points
2017-18 4th on 75 points
2018-19 2nd on 97 points
2019-20 1st on 99 points
2020-21 scraped into the Top4 on the last day on 68 points
2021-22 2nd on 92 points
2022-23 currently 5th on 66 points with a maximum they could get being 69 points.
So with Klopp being a top manager (much better than Ten Hag), I can see Liverpool mounting a title challenge again next season.
…United, will hover around 3rd to 5th again.
