Paul Scholes admits Liverpool have outdone one thing never achieved by the great Manchester United teams he played for over a first-half of the season.

Scholes believes Liverpool have already wrapped up the Premier League title - something no United side had ever done at this stage of the season.

"I don't think we'd ever won it by Christmas," Scholes told Premier League Productions, recalling his 20 seasons with United.

“This team - look it's game over, there's nobody [who is going to catch them].

“I think the question now is how many points are they going to win it by, I think they're so good.

“(Manchester) City have a team if any team could get anywhere near them but I don't expect that to happen.

“I just think Liverpool are too good. I think the biggest fight we've got now this season is probably the relegation fight and third and fourth."
