Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson insists he never
seriously considered beating Liverpool's title record when he first
arrived in 1986.
United will not knock Liverpool off their perch by getting the
point against Arsenal on Saturday that would see them collect an
11th Premier League.
However, it will be enough to let them shuffle up alongside,
knowing one more big shove could tumble Rafael Benitez's men off
altogether.
"I never even thought about moving level with Liverpool," said
Ferguson.
"My first intention was to win one and break the stranglehold
Liverpool had on the title.
"You don't think about how it would open the door in terms of
what we see now. The big challenge was that first one."
