Sir Alex Ferguson has yet to extend his congratulations to Liverpool, at least not so far.

Perhaps the iconic former Manchester United boss, who famously set out to dethrone Liverpool, is biding his time until Arne Slot can elevate the Reds back to their long-standing rivalry with United.

Slot's initial campaign at Anfield has been such that he required an explanation as to why clinching this 20th title would carry extra weight for fans who have longed for 35 years to behold their side being crowned champions in person.

Notably more reserved than his predecessor Jurgen Klopp, the 46 year old exhibits a skill in subtle communication.

Back in January, Slot's father hinted to his son that perhaps the Reds could inject some excitement into their remarkable consistency that has seen them surge 12 points ahead.

However, while the Liverpool manager will savour the moment his team clinches victory, don't expect any over-the-top celebrations.

Slot remarked: "I enjoyed it a lot when Feyenoord won the title - but I don't go crazy.
