Manchester United vs Liverpool has been one of the most fiercely fought rivalries in the history of football. And the pure hatred shared mutually between the two clubs is showing no signs of fading out any time soon.
Manchester United fans were buoyed by the arrival of Jose Mourinho, who was given the task of preventing the club from ‘turning into Liverpool’ by going from consistent title winners to a club that struggles to even get into the top four.
The Merseyside club’s start to the season has gone under the radar, as Chelsea, Manchester City and United have stolen the headlines as title favourites. However, United fans on twitter have underestimated their northwestern rivals a bit too much.

However, United ended up suffering a 3-1 loss at the hands of Watford, thanks to goals from Capoue, Zuniga, and Deeney, which meant they ended the week below Liverpool in the Premier League table.
This prompted an immediate reaction from Liverpool’s twitter handle, with the club responding to the taunt by a United fan account with a tweet that read: “Delete.”.
And while it was all just a bit of banter, United legend and Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville was not having any of it.
He responded with a string of tweets criticising the club for mocking its greatest rivals only five games in and a few weeks before the two clubs’ first game against each other this season.
Unfortunately not but if I did I wouldn't say delete I'd say Deeney. https://t.co/ASV8et2Yv8

Jamie Carragher, not wanting to miss out on the fun, tweeted out saying it was David Luiz’s agent. Neville then responded by asking the former Liverpool defender if he ran the club’s twitter handle, to which he responded by saying: “Unfortunately not but if I did I wouldn’t say delete I’d say Deeney.”
