Former Reds Scout Reveals How Liverpool Boss Tactically Outclassed Man Utd During Ferguson Years

Bitter rivals Manchester United and Liverpool face off at Old Trafford on Saturday lunchtime - and one man has revealed the secrets behind beating United in the past.

Former Liverpool scout Alex Miller - a one-time teammate of legendary United boss Sir Alex Ferguson - spoke at length to ESPN about the Merseysiders' former stranglehold over their Premier League counterparts.

Liverpool went five matches unbeaten against the Red Devils between December 2000 and January 2002 when Gerard Houllier was the man in the dugout at Anfield.

That unexpected dominance was brought into focus by Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher, who revealed recently that his side's secret weapon in the battle against United was Miller.
