Liverpool and United are England’s two most successful clubs of all time and it has long been considered the biggest fixture in the country. Between them, they have won an incredible 39 league titles, 20 FA Cups and nine Champions League and European Cup titles.
Manchester United is marginally ahead on league titles having won 20 to Liverpool’s 19. But the Reds have the bragging rights when it comes to European Cups, boasting double United’s successes in the competition at six compared to three.

Manchester City’s rise under Sheikh Mansour has breathed new life into the Manchester derby but Rashford looked past United’s near neighbours when naming the club he likes the least, confessing Liverpool are still seen as the biggest scalp at Old Trafford.
"Liverpool," he said to Gary Neville on the latest episode of Sky Sports’ The Overlap. "I don't like none of them, but I dislike Liverpool more."
Liverpool and United have won an incredible 131 major trophies since forming in the late nineteenth century, reports the Liverpool ECHO. Their rivalry as cities, meanwhile, goes back to the Industrial Revolution based on the economic competition between the two Northern powerhouses.

While Rashford named Liverpool as United's biggest rival, the England international snubbed the Reds when revealing his most difficult opponent. "I would probably say Kyle Walker," he said. "His physical capabilities are just unbelievable, so it's always a tough day.
"You have to try and catch him off-guard or in the wrong position, but even then he can recover. I just try and drift into places where he can't drift, and he has to pass me on."
Rashford enjoyed his best goalscoring season to date last term, netting 30 goals in all competitions as United won the FA Cup and finished runners up to Manchester City in the Carabao Cup.
He scored 17 goals in the Premier League, helping Erik ten Hag’s side finish two places and eight points better off than fifth-placed Liverpool. Rashford also netted twice in the World Cup in the group stage wins over Iran and Wales.
Jürgen Klopp's side are aiming to turn the tables on Manchester United this season as they target a return to the top four, having finished outside of it for the first time since 2016.
