Sir Alex: Liverpool were best team last season

Former Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is full of praise for Brendan Rodgers' Liverpool last season.

Ferguson, writing in updated chapters of his autobiography, said Liverpool were the best performing team last term.

Their style of attacking football particularly impressed the 72-year-old former Red Devils boss.

"From my perspective they (Liverpool) were definitely the team of the year," writes Ferguson.

"They made their leap forward the right way: they played positive football.

"Even a United fan, seeing them as the nemesis, couldn't begrudge Liverpool their surge up the table - their form was amazing, brilliant."
