Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson says Roy Hodgson is the right manager for Liverpool.

While Liverpool's fortunes do not seem to have improved significantly since their seventh-placed finish last term, Ferguson is sure their new manager can make the situation better.

"Roy has the experience," he said.

"He has gathered a wealth of experience in Italy, Switzerland and Finland and the job he did at Fulham was absolutely extraordinary.

"But our approach will not change. We have to express ourselves the way we always do."
