As Manchester United's struggles continue, Ryan Giggs' infamous comments about the Red Devils 'never collapsing like Liverpool' have re-emerged once again…

Liverpool Echo writer Theo Squires argues that Ryan Giggs' infamous 2011 warning that losing can become a habit now applies directly to Manchester United. Squires compares United's 13-year post-Sir Alex Ferguson era to Liverpool's first 13 seasons following their 1990 league triumph, arguing that the Red Devils' modern struggles and managerial instability represent an even steeper collapse than Liverpool ever experienced.
Manchester United sit 16th in the Premier League table under manager Michael Carrick, having won only once all season following recent defeats to Como and Bournemouth. Squires highlights that United have spent over £2bn on transfers and cycled through 12 managerial appointments since 2013, yielding fewer trophies and lower average finishes than Liverpool managed during their own comparable period.
