Liverpool legend Sir Kenny Dalglish has revealed that Sir Alex Ferguson sent him a text in the aftermath of the Reds' Premier League title victory.
Jurgen Klopp's men ended the club's 30-year wait for a league title on Thursday evening when Chelsea's win over Man City confirmed them as champions of England.
And Ferguson, who led Liverpool 's bitter rivals United to 13 league titles and famously remarked that he had knocked the Reds "off their f****** perch", contacted Dalglish to send a message of congratulations.
The Liverpool legend then spoke of the great respect between the two old adversaries.
Dalglish said: “He has contacted us to say congratulations - you are not at war!”
“There is competition between all the old foes, but at the end of the year you send a letter of congratulations to say well done.
“That continues and it is a great compliment. You may be rivals but to have the intelligence so that you are magnanimous enough to send in a letter saying congratulations.
“The people who you’ve been competing with all your life in football, they would wish it was themselves who won, it but they are proud to pay homage to other people as well.”
