Liverpool versus Manchester United is in many people’s eyes still the biggest game in English football. And the colossal clash between the country’s two most successful football clubs has provided us with some memorable meetings in the Jurgen Klopp era.
Manchester United enjoyed decades of dominance under Sir Alex Ferguson, but the balance of power has shifted somewhat since Klopp arrived in Merseyside back in 2015.
Here’s a full breakdown of quite how dominant Liverpool have been in this fixture in recent years.
Derby dominance
Klopp has taken charge of 18 matches against Manchester United. Liverpool have won seven, drawn seven and lost just four of those clashes against their historic rivals.
More recently they have won four of their last five meetings with the Red Devils and lost just one of the last 10 Premier League clashes.
In Klopp’s six full seasons in charge, Liverpool have finished ahead of United in four of them. They’ve also taken over 50 more points in the Premier League since he was first appointed as manager in October 2015.
Over the last two seasons, Liverpool have scored 17 goals in four outings against United. That’s a stark contrast to the seven seasons from 2001 to 2008, whereby Liverpool mustered just seven goals in 14 league meetings.

Historic results
Liverpool’s 7-0 victory over United on Sunday was literally the biggest win in the entire history of the fixture. The margin of victory beats a record that stood for over a century, when Liverpool beat Newton Heath (as United were then known) via a 7-1 scoreline in the second tier all the way back in 1895.
It’s not the first time that Klopp’s Liverpool have made history against Manchester United.
Last season, Liverpool registered a record aggregate scoreline with their 5-0 win at Old Trafford and 4-0 win at Anfield. That’s the worst aggregate league-double scoreline that United have suffered in the Premier League era.
The Reds’ 5-0 victory at Old Trafford in October 2021 was Manchester United’s joint-biggest home loss in Premier League history, along with Manchester United’s 1-6 in October 2011 and Tottenham’s 1-6 in October 2020. It was also Liverpool’s biggest-ever win away to United.
