Manchester United legend says Liverpool are a bigger club than the Red Devils

Dwight Yorke agrees with a former teammate's assessment that Liverpool have surpassesd Manchester United and are currently the bigger club.

Yorke played for the Red Devils from 1998 until 2002, winning several major trophies during that time. The retired striker shared the pitch with Gary Neville throughout his spell at Old Trafford, and now they share the opinion that United's traditional rivals have overtaken them at the top of the English footballing hierarchy.

“I think Gary Neville is right, looking at the recent history of Manchester United and how Liverpool have won their 20th title," Yorke said to PokerScout of recent comments made by his old teammate.

“The older generation will know what Manchester United have won, but they are not living up to that expectation with the younger generation.

“A lot of young people don't know how big United are. At one point we were so dominant that it wasn't even a debate.

“Now Liverpool have overtaken us on titles and have six European Cups, looking at the stats you would say Liverpool, but based on fans it’s another conversation.”
