Liverpool Stopper Daniel Agger Admits Manchester United Are 'Scary'


Daniel Agger has been astounded by the Red Devils’ consistency and, as a result, he is aware that Liverpool have to stop dropping so many points.

Liverpool's Danish defender Daniel Agger has taken enough time out from pondering his murky Anfield future to notice that Manchester United are steaming ahead at the top of the Premier League.

The Red Devils are on a mind-boggling run of clean sheets and have been virtually unstoppable since Christmas, enjoying the kind of surge that Sir Alex Ferguson promised.

Agger told Ekstra Bladet, "I take my hat off to United. They have shown scary strength and have many strings to play on.

"They are the most stable [team in the league] and they win [many of] their close games."

Liverpool's visit to Old Trafford on March 14 could prove a pivotal fixture in the title race. Agger has already pinpointed this but has urged his team-mates to improve upon recent results in the meantime.

"If we want to keep our chances for the trophy alive we can't draw in so many games,” he asserted.

"Manchester United could be five points ahead of us if they win next Wednesday's game against Fulham.

"Because of that, we will have to beat them at Old Trafford."
