Liverpool boss Rodgers expects Man Utd to be title challengers

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers expects Manchester United to be title challengers this coming season.

United beat Rodgers' Liverpool in the final of the Champions Cup in Miami on Monday.

Asked if United can emulate Liverpool by recovering from a seventh-place finish to challenge for the title again, Rodgers said: "I think it will be a totally different mindset. Domestically, for the last 20 years they've been champions 13 times. So they already have something in place. When I came to Liverpool, we were eighth at the time and the club was nearly going out of business, so it's totally different.

"The United players will be disappointed with where they finished last year, of course. With the quality they have, they will want to push on."
