“Our Ambitions Are Greater Than Beating United” Rodgers
- Updated: March 14, 2014
Brendan Rodgers says Liverpool’s ambitions are far more than showing class against Mnchester United as the two sides meet in Sunday’s titanic Premier League tie.
Rodgers’ side will open a 14-point lead over their rivals if they win this weekend’s Super Sunday game at Old Trafford and are already strongly-placed to finish above United for the first time in 14 years.
If that would restore a measure of Merseyside pride after two decades of United success, Rodgers’ priority is keeping Liverpool in a Premier League title race which is approaching its final stages without the 13-time winners.
“The benchmark for us is the best,” he said. “First of all we are always challenging the team at the top – not Manchester United, who are further down.
“I never said when I came in here we wanted to be fourth. Top four is where we want to be but Liverpool will always be judged on being the best, both here and in Europe not against Manchester United.
Liverpool have a seven-point gap to close on leaders Chelsea but head into the weekend in second, a position that represents real progress following last season’s seventh-placed finish in Rodgers’ first year.
