Former Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs has said that the club will have to wait 20 years to win the Premier League title again after Liverpool‘s recent success.
Giggs said that the Red Devils wait will be determined by how long Jurgen Klopp stays at Anfield, after he lead his team to a domestic triumph for the first time in 30 years.
Manchester United have not won the title since legendary boss Sir Alex Ferguson guided them to victory in 2011 and Giggs fears Liverpool’s ‘resources’ and ‘players’ will see them dominate the league for years to come.

When asked by former LFC defender Jamie Carragher if he was worried his former team would have to wait as long as Liverpool to the claim the title again, Giggs said: ‘Yes, 100 per cent. It could be 15, 20 years before you know it, especially if (Jurgen) Klopp and (Pep) Guardiola stick around.
‘They have got the resources and the players so we have Liverpool to look at where the last time when they won it in 1990 they thought we’ll win it again soon.
‘Even Klopp took four and a half years for him to win it – it takes a long time. You have to think about what Klopp did.

‘He improved the team every season or won a trophy like the Champions League and then you saw the improvement so the pressure was off a little bit.
‘Every manager and signing is seen as that he will win us the league and it’s not like that.’
Giggs went on to speak about the long-standing rivalry between Liverpool, saying the best feeling was leaving Anfield after a win.
He told the Greatest Game Podcast: ‘The best feeling I always had was leaving Anfield after winning even if Liverpool weren’t the best side at the time.

‘I played for Salford boys and our toughest games were always against Bootle, Liverpool, Kirkby, Sefton.
‘As soon as you went down the East Lancs it was a mindset it’s going to be a tough game and a test of not just your footballing ability but also your mental strength.’
