Sir Alex Ferguson congratulated Liverpool on their triumph in the Premier League, Dalglish reveals

Liverpool won the first English top crown since 1990 thanks to Manchester City’s 2-1 loss to Chelsea on Thursday.

The Reds celebrated a 19th English championship title with seven games remaining in 2019-20, lagging United’s record after Ferguson led the Manchester Giants to 13 Premier League honors with trophies during a 26-year tenure.

However, Ferguson put rivalries aside when the United legend congratulated Liverpool’s fierce opponents.

“He contacted us to congratulate the modern medium,” said Anfield’s great Dalglish, who won nine league titles as a Liverpool player and manager.

“You’re going through the older generation – Fergie at Manchester United, Brian Kidd, Mike Summerbee; all the old enemies who played football at the same time as us – and at the end of the year you sent a congratulatory letter to say the least done, that goes on.

“It’s a big compliment. You are competitive and rival, but you are generous enough to send a letter of congratulations. Everyone is in the same game, isn’t it?”

Liverpool are 23 points ahead of the table after winning 28 of their 31 games in 2019-20.

United are fifth and five points behind the Champions League spots before the quarter-finals of the FA Cup on Saturday against Norwich City.

The Red Devils have not won the Premier League since Ferguson’s last season in 2013.
