Wayne Rooney sees Liverpool as a threat to Manchester United's Barclays Premier League defence next season.
The England international has never made any secret of his antipathy for the Anfield outfit.
A boyhood Evertonian, Liverpool were always the enemy and after scoring the penalty which sealed United's record title triumph, Rooney posted a picture on Twitter showing he had the number 19 shaved into his chest hair.
However, he does recognise the revolution that has taken place under Kenny Dalglish.
Jordan Henderson and Charlie Adam have joined this summer, giving the Reds a British feel following the £35million arrival of Andy Carroll in January.
And whilst it might be 21 years since Liverpool last finished top, Rooney thinks they have the capability to end that run.
"I think Liverpool will challenge this time," he said.
"They have made some really good signings - British players - and, under Kenny Dalglish, I am sure they will be fighting harder than they ever have done to be up there.
"They will think they have a chance of winning the title."
