If there is a difference between these two teams Manchester United and Liverpool then Liverpool should be ahead. There is a compromise in Liverpool's performance that we don't see with Manchester United. Manchester United winning one match by a big margin and losing several matches is never a good game. Last season Manchester United played Champions League this season they will play Europa League due to poor performance in the local league their place is in Europa League. With Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool competing in the Premier League this season, we can't really consider Manchester United in the best position there.
Liverpool headcoach, Arne Slot have to work hard enough because he's in the English Premier League and have become one of the solid style to create opportunities for the team. He's the solidable replacement for Jurgen Klopp and he knows how to face elite and average clubs. Meanwhile Manchester united have more time to improve after losing in a style against Brighton previous weekend. The Red devils have to bounced back on their feet because winning and accumulating three points should be their desperate priorities. Erik Ten Hag have to put in the work and comprehend the complex arrangement of these new players.
At the end of this season, every Liverpool fan will probably say that their previous manager was better if the current manager can't work hard to improve the team's performance. Liverpool's position last season was probably number three or number four in the English Premier League. This season, Liverpool must be brought to a better position. If the current manager fails, Liverpool fans will not want him. There was a time when we considered Liverpool as an auto choice in the list of best teams but currently Liverpool are not performing like that which is why we now doubt whether they can stay from 1 to 5 in the points table.
