Paul Merson strongly backs Liverpool to outshine Manchester United in the Premier League next season. His confidence comes after United's narrow 3-2 win over Liverpool, which left them six points ahead in the standings.
Merson argues that despite United's recent form, they're benefitting from a less demanding schedule, having played only once a week this season, unlike Liverpool. He believes this gives the Reds the edge moving forward.
Analyzing both squads, Merson highlights Liverpool's struggles, particularly in defense and midfield, while pointing out standout performances from United players like Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro. He notes that Liverpool’s two center-backs have underperformed, and they have struggled to cover for Trent Alexander-Arnold's absence.
Despite these challenges, Merson remains optimistic about Liverpool’s potential, stating, “If someone asks me who among Manchester United and Liverpool will finish higher in the Premier League next season, I would actually back Arne Slot’s team all day long!” He adds that concerns about Liverpool's intensity stem from players focusing on the upcoming World Cup, which could be impacting their current performance.
Stay tuned for more insights as the season unfolds!
