The 74-year-old's take on Liverpool could also be read as reflecting poorly on United's current state. Ferguson speaks about "big clubs" losing enthusiasm, failing to build an identity and changing managers regularly.
It could be argued United have experienced all of this in the three years since Ferguson retired.
"He has done a really good job and revived Liverpool's enthusiasm," Ferguson told German magazine Kicker.
"It can happen that big clubs lose it. For two decades, Liverpool changed managers without building their own identity."
"You can now well and truly sense that you have to count them in this year. You can see Klopp's dedication on the sideline, I'm convinced his work in training is similar. He's a strong personality. That's absolutely vital at a big club. "I'm worried about him because the one thing United don't want is Liverpool to get above us."Liverpool are currently joint top of the table with Manchester City and Arsenal with 20 points, six ahead of United in seventh place. There's still three-quarters of the season to play, but Klopp's side do look further ahead in their development than Jose Mourinho's United. Will the German be the man to finally put Liverpool back on their perch?
