Jurgen Klopp has warned Liverpool fans not to expect his side to dominate English football in the same way Manchester United did under Sir Alex Ferguson.
Liverpool are on the brink of securing their first Premier League title and get their season back underway on Sunday night following a three-month hiatus due to the coronavirus pandemic.
They currently lead by 22 points after pushing Manchester City close last season - but they have a long way to go before they match United's 13 Premier League titles.
Klopp was asked whether he could see a side dominate in the same way Ferguson's teams did in the 1990s and 2000s but the Liverpool boss responded by saying there is a reason why it has been over a decade since a club won the title three times in a row.
He said: "I don’t think it is possible to dominate anymore, to be honest.
"United had a pretty good combination, with an exceptional manager with a super eye for players and fantastic timing for how long you need a player in the team.
"The replacements he (Ferguson) got were always exceptional — and there was the money, too. The combination for United was really good.
"But we have to do these things — and probably even more — to stay successful.
"And believe me, the others will not stop. United will strike back and Chelsea are on the front foot in the transfer market while no-one else has done anything because the times are so uncertain.
"And when I saw Man City beat Arsenal, I asked how is it possible we have 22 more points than them?"
