Jamie Carragher opened a huge can of worms when he said that the Liverpool-Manchester City rivalry is the greatest we have ever seen.While linking to his piece in The Telegraph, the Sky Sports pundit wrote: “ This @ManCity and @LFC rivalry is the best we’ve ever had in English football!! We’ve never had the two best teams & managers in the world together fighting it out.” Many were up in arms over the summary, claiming that the bitter battles of yesteryear undoubtedly trump that current feud between this season’s title challengers.Here, Daily Star Sport will run you through what we believe to be the best rivalries ever to take place in the Premier League, in order of weakest to fiercest.Kevin Keegan took Newcastle from promotion to almost immediate title contenders in 1994.The Magpies, now known as the Entertainers, were in inches of winning the Premier League title, being 15 points clear at Christmas during the 1995-96 season.But it wasn’t to be as the Sir Alex Ferguson mind games proved too strong and the Red Devils carried on their dominance in the league, snatching the title away from the underdogs.Do you agree with our list? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.Just as the rivalry between Ferguson and Arsene Wenger seemed to die down, one Jose Mourinho entered the fray.After winning the Premier League in his first season with Chelsea, Ferguson found himself another boss to go head-to-head with.The jury’s out on who pipped who between these two, though, with both sharing a trophy-laden period. Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp have been the top brass in English football for the past several years.

Rio Ferdinand used to be part of a Manchester United side that won so much it stopped bothering with bus parades.But he believes this attitude made the United team he was part of even better and hungrier for more silverware.

England manager Steve McLaren could make a sensational return to Manchester United if Erik ten Hag is appointed manager.The highly-rated Ajax boss has emerged as frontrunner for the job after holding positive talks with United's board last month and is expected to sit down with the club again in the coming weeks to potentially finalise the move. Should that happen, the Dutchman will consider bringing in McLaren as his assistant, according to The Guardian, having worked under the Englishman at FC Twente.It would see McLaren return to the Old Trafford dug-out for the first time since in over two decades after spending two years at the club as Sir Alex Ferguson's No 2.McLaren was highly thought of at United and his work there landed him the Middlesbrough job in 2001.

Manchester United legend Sir Alex Ferguson when naming the most intimidating manager throughout his time in the Premier League.The vociferous Scotsman, 80, was known as a nightmare for officials during his tenure at Old Trafford due to his belligerent nature on the touchline. Constantly appealing every decision, 'Fergie Time' was a concept brought about due to a referee supposedly needing a Man Utd goal to avoid the hairdryer treatment themselves.Dean though, who is hanging up his boots after 22-years as a Premier League, has named another as his most intimidating manager when speaking to BBC Sport.

Van Gaal stated that the cancer is aggressive, and he has even been undergoing radiation therapy whilst on international duty with the Netherlands squad.

Hull City’s new owner Acun Ilicali is looking to sign former Arsenal playmaker Mesut Ozil, according to reports.The German attacker is currently under suspension at Fenerbahce just a year after he signed for them to bring an end to his contentious time with the Gunners.

their long-running feud threatened to ruin Manchester United’s chances of Champions League glory back in 1999. At Old Trafford, Cole and Sheringham were — at least on paper — the ultimate strike partnership. An all-English frontline with attacking prowess and a natural scent for goals, the pair combined to score a hatful of goals for the club after Sheringham’s high-profile £3.5million move from Tottenham in 1997.Cole managed 121 in eight seasons with the club, while Sheringham netted 46 times in four years.

Sir Alex Ferguson offered Manchester United some important words of advice before he put the hairdryer away for the final time and retired in 2013 - not that they bothered listening.Fergie called it quits at Old Trafford almost a decade ago, dramatically announcing his decision to step away from the technical area in May 2013. And after his final home game in charge - a 2-1 victory over Swansea City - the legendary Scotsman took to the microphone to issue a final request to the club's fans and board."I would like to remind you this club stood by me in bad times, the players and the staff," he told supporters inside Old Trafford. "Your job now is to stand by the new manager."That request lasted all of 10 months as United hired and then fired David Moyes following a dismal 2013-14 campaign.

Sir Alex Ferguson is one of the most successful managers in footballing history, but even he struggled to get the very best out of Brazil international Anderson at Manchester United.The midfielder arrived at Old Trafford from Porto in 2007 for a fee of approximately £20million, being dubbed by many as the ‘next big thing’ for United. Having won the Golden Boy award in 2005 – three years after winning the Golden Ball at the Under-17 World Championships, many expected the playmaker to be a long-term star at the Red Devils.But injuries, fitness issues and a lack of desire held Anderson back. So much so that Ferguson wanted to hit the now-retired player with a stick as he was that frustrated with him.Former United coach Nick Clegg spoke of the incident to The Athletic, he explained: “You could never find a nicer person [than Anderson] — he was popular with everyone — but he was a lazy bleeder.
