With the new Premier League season still 10 days away, Sir Alex Ferguson has written off Liverpool's hopes of ending their 19-year wait to win the title.
The Kop ran Manchester United close and finished second in the Premier League table last term.
They are expected to challenge again this campaign, but Ferguson believes Liverpool will struggle to replicate their heroics of last season.
He told The Sun: "It will be hard for them to match last season, let alone improve on it. Other teams will know more about them.
"Liverpool had probably their best season for 20 years and still finished four points adrift.
"It has to be Chelsea as the main threat. Carlo Ancelotti will change how they play.
"They will play the Milan way. It brought him two European Cups - it should have been three, because they should never have lost to Liverpool. So why should he change?"
