Man Utd players living on past glories as Liverpool once did – Barnes

Manchester United have been living on past glories for too long, says John Barnes, with the former Liverpool star seeing a “huge similarity” between the current situation at Old Trafford and one he previously experienced at Anfield.

Barnes, who moved to Merseyside in 1987, formed part of the last Reds side to lift the English top-flight title.

It appears as though a 30-year wait to land that piece of silverware will be brought to a close by Jurgen Klopp’s class of 2019-20, but there have been plenty of tough times through the last three decades.
