MANCHESTER, United Kingdom (AFP) - Alex Ferguson has said it will always be important to him for Manchester United to beat Liverpool, no matter where their north-west rivals stand in the Premier League.
Top-flight leaders United overcame a late Liverpool rally to claim a 2-1 win over the Merseysiders at Old Trafford on Sunday.
United ended the weekend still seven points clear at the top of the table after second-placed reigning champions Manchester City won 2-0 away to Arsenal later on Sunday.
This victory also saw United go a huge 24 points in front of Liverpool, who remained eighth.
