Overview of Liverpool vs Man United trophies

In the 1970s and 1980s, Liverpool dominated English and European football, whereas United struggled after Sir Matt Busby's departure.

Sir Alex Ferguson, on the other hand, arrived at Old Trafford in 1986 and overcame a rocky start to lead United to the greatest successful period in their history.

During Ferguson's 26-and-a-half years as manager, they won 38 trophies, accounting for more than half of their total.

Since Ferguson's retirement in 2013, the pendulum has swung back, with Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool becoming one of the finest teams in the world.

We compared the facts to see how their two trophy cabinets stack up.

United has already won two more titles than their arch-rivals, according to the statistics. The Red Devils presently hold the league and FA Community Shield record for most league titles and Community Shields.

United is the FA Cup's second-most successful team, and they've also won a number of continental titles, including three European Cups.

Liverpool, a Manchester United F.C. rivalry, has an amazing trophy cabinet, having won more League Cups, European Cups, UEFA Cups, and UEFA Super Cups than any other English club.

If Liverpool adds the Premier League, Champions League, and FA Cup to their League Cup in 2021-22, they might overtake Man United this season.

Liverpool vs Man United trophies in England

Liverpool fans were quick to proclaim that their team had become the most successful in English football after winning their sixth UEFA Super Cup trophy in 2019, defeating Chelsea in a penalty shootout in Istanbul.

Liverpool won their 46th major title by defeating the Blues on that occasion, with supporters believing they had eclipsed great rivals Manchester United, who, they said, had 45 major trophies.

The Reds have now won 49 major trophies, including the Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup, Champions League/European Cup, UEFA Cup/Europa League, and UEFA Super Cup, but one competition is missing from their total.

Liverpool's 49 major trophies do not include the amount of Community Shield titles they have won, which is the main area of contention — Man Utd has a record of 21, Community Shields, while Liverpool has 15.

So, if Community Shield triumphs are included in the trophy total, Man Utd has 66 major trophies to Liverpool's 64, cementing their position as England's most successful team.

Does the Community Shield count as a major trophy?

The main point of dispute between the two camps is whether or not the Community Shield qualifies as a significant championship.

Though its status as a major championship has been questioned by certain football figures and fans, the FA considers the Community Shield to be an official honor in English football, and it is considered the opening game of the new English top-flight season.

When compared to the FA Cup and League Cup, the Community Shield is seen as a minor trophy, with some referring to it as a "glorified friendly" - especially since yellow and red cards gained in the match do not transfer over to other tournaments.

Alex Ferguson noted in 2008 that the Community Shield is a prestigious match, but that he has used players who were not fully fit in it.

Players and managers participating in the Community Shield, for the most part, recognize its importance as a major trophy and see it as the season's first 'final.'

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, speaking about his players' fitness levels before the 2018 Community Shield versus Chelsea, stated they only have four or five days to prepare for the first final of the Community Shield, so they must adapt.
