Man United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has written off Liverpool ahead of the start of the new Premier League season. Many people linked with Liverpool believe that this season will be their season (don't we hear that every year?) but Fergie says that it won't be.

Ever since loosing Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez, Liverpool, Chelsea and even Arsenal believe that it will give them a better chance to winning the Premier League.

Speaking yesterday Fergie said: "It will be hard for them to match last season, let alone improve on it. Other teams will know more about them."

"Liverpool had probably their best season for 20 years and still finished four points adrift.

"It has to be Chelsea as the main threat. Ancelotti will change how they play.

"They will play the Milan way. It brought him two European Cups - it should have been three, because they should never have lost to Liverpool. So why should he change?"

It looks like Liverpool have lost one of their midfielder Xavi Alonso to Real Madrid but Sir Alex doesn't believe that, that will be a problem.

"The thrust of their team is all about Gerrard and Torres."

It is a brave thing to say by Fergie because it could come back and haunt him. I do believe that Liverpool will be there or there abouts but I can't wait for the season to kick off again.
