[엑스포츠뉴스 김정현 인턴기자] As Manchester United face a showdown against Liverpool, Scholes also expressed anticipation.
The British edition of ESPN said on the 15th (Korean time) that the upcoming 2020/21 season Premier League round 18 match between Liverpool and Manchester United is an important match that will be a watershed for winning Manchester United.
Liverpool and Manchester United’s Northwest Derby are further attracting attention as the league matches first and second place.
Manchester United have been challenging to win the championship in about eight years since they won the 2012/13 season as manager Alex Ferguson.
Manchester United legend Paul Scholes told ESPN that this season is an opportunity to win his first title since 2013.
He said, “I think Manchester United can win this season because this is a strange season,” he said. “Man United has no better chance than winning away from Anfield.”
He continued, “The lack of fans in Anfield is the biggest advantage for United. When I went to the Anfield expedition, the presence of fans affected us a lot. “Man United still has to play a difficult game with Liverpool, but United can win only by showing strong appearances in the big game.”
Scholes is a Manchester United legend with 11 league wins, 4 FA Cup wins and 2 UEFA Champions League titles with Ferguson during his active career.
