Liverpool's recent Premier League title victory, which drew it level with Manchester United on 20 league titles, has resurfaced a once-overlooked prediction from Sir Alex Ferguson, the Old Trafford icon.

Ferguson long foresaw Jurgen Klopp turning Liverpool into a championship-caliber squad well before he steered them to their inaugural Premier League accolade in 2020.

He pegged the German as the "perfect" individual to lead at Anfield, a prediction that resonates with a hint of foreboding today, considering the current composition of Arne Slot's Liverpool line-up, either signed or developed under Klopp's guidance.

To the surprise of many, Jamie Carragher revealed that Ferguson was among the scant voices outside of Anfield that had faith in Klopp restoring the league title after his arrival in 2015.

He captured the Champions League in 2019 and ended Liverpool's 30-year wait for a league title in 2020.

Carragher later penned in the Daily Telegraph: "Outside Anfield, there was only one high-profile figure in the game who tried to convince me Klopp could bring the title to Anfield.

"I should have listened to Sir Alex Ferguson.

"It was the look he gave me, which was most revealing, as he explained how impressed he had been with Klopp during Champions League coaching seminars...

He felt, and exhibited, no inferiority complex, and Ferguson intuitively knew he was perfect for Liverpool."

Despite not securing a second league title, Klopp kept Liverpool in the competitive fray, a fact that shook United's stalwart Gary Neville.

Nevertheless, the legacy he left made way for Arne Slot's promising start, building on Klopp's final campaign where Liverpool gathered an impressive 82 points despite battling injuries and squad difficulties.
