Liverpool legend reacts bitterly to Manchester United’s ‘lucky’ top four finish | OneFootball

Liverpool are struggling as they come to terms with their 2022/23 season and John Aldridge has a platform to express his bitterness towards Manchester United.

Jurgen Klopp’s team missed out on Champions League qualification after finishing outside the top four.

Some pundits previously argued how these Liverpool players compared to Treble winners from 1999, but they were quiet this year when those same stars flattered to decisive and failed to win any trophies.

In response to this, the Liverpool fans who hide behind keyboards will scream from the roof tops about their 7-0 win over us at Anfield in March.

All I can say is enjoy your 7UP Cup, lads. I doubt it will be enough to wipe about those tears.

Former Liverpool player John Aldridge writes a column and it’s never shy of a childish dig at Manchester United.

This time it’s a hilarious attempt by Aldridge to undermine United’s third place finish in the Premier League, two places and eight points clear of Liverpool.

Aldridge brazenly claims United were ‘lucky’ to finish in the Champions League spots – for multiple reasons!

In his column for the Irish Independent, Aldridge said: “Manchester United got lucky on a few fronts this season as they stumbled over the finishing line in the race for a top four finish.

“The Premier League’s top six has been settled in the last few years, with the occasional interruption from a team like Leicester when they had an exceptional campaign.

“Yet this is the season when all that has been ripped up and nothing had made sense. For starters, we had a World Cup that should never have been allowed to take place stuck in the middle of the season.

“That made it feel like two very separate stories – before and after the tournament in Qatar.

“The break helped United manager Erik ten Hag as Cristiano Ronaldo was pushed out of the club just before that World Cup and if the season was ongoing, it would have been a huge story.

“By the time the Premier League restarted again, Ronaldo was old news and United could get on with the season without that circus affecting them.

“Another big helping hand that has pushed United towards a top four finish has come from their rivals, especially Chelsea and Liverpool.”

To use the Cristiano Ronaldo fall-out as a positive, without giving Erik ten Hag a bit of credit, is ridiculous and I would be lying if I said I expected anything better from Aldridge.

It truly beggars belief the depths people will go to show their bitterness.

Hated. Adored. Never ignored.
