Former Manchester United defender Rafael has admitted it would be "great" for the Old Trafford side if Liverpool were denied the Premier League title by the season being declared void.
The Reds are a record 25 points clear at the summit and need to win only two of their remaining nine games to clinch the championship for the first time since 1990.
It would move their total on to 19 titles, just one behind United who haven't won the crown in seven years.
Premier League football has been suspended since March 13 due to the coronavirus outbreak, although clubs have committed to resuming the campaign when it is safe to do so.
But Rafael, who spent seven years at United and now plays for Lyon, would rather that didn't happen.
Asked by the official Manchester United website for the highlight of his Old Trafford career he responded: "I always say that when you get to 18, and when you pass Liverpool!
"Everybody's talking about 'stop the competition', no? They don't get to 20!
"It will be hard for them (if the league is cancelled), great for us! But that (winning the 19th title in 2011) was my best moment.”
FA chairman Greg Clarke has admitted there remains a possibility leagues may not be able to be finished in England.
Although UEFA president Aleksandr Ceferin has said he "can't see a way" where Liverpool aren't declared champions.

I am a Liverpool fan. Rivalry in football is not about education as you suggest. For some people it is just like a war. Maybe you had too much education lol

You will never know the value of the rivalry because you're not from Manchester. They are not uneducated. They are true Man Utd supporters. Coming from a Liverpool fan btw

I really think the season should end for the safety of everyone but still for me Liverpool are the champions of EPL for 2019/2020 even if the season doesn't resume or got giving the trophy unlike the Ferguson time for Man Utd most of their trophies they won because of the corrupt epl Referees Liverpool should be proud of what they did in the epl this season they could have been the fastest team to be crowned champion in epl history
how many league titles do you have??the likes of Everton and Newcastle are your mates so respect your elders.

Man u fans are more concern than Liverpool fans. Liverpool have hope of winning many more titles and E PL next season and seasons to come unlike Man u they won't even finish top for any time soon.

We are more concern about everyone safety in this time than EPL title. If they rub us this season next season Liverpool will win EPL any how. The bad thing for Man u is that they have no hope to even finish in top 4 anytime soon.

He's right. Ferguson was not a tactical manager. He only motivated his players and had money to buy good players and bribe referees

Football is a beautiful and strange game. ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN. Who is to say liverpool cannot lose all their next 10 games with city winning all their rest? It's not about probability and pragmatism. Remember the story of the hare and the tortoise? Liverpool is the hare here and until the hare crosses the finish-line: YOU CANNOT ASSUME THE HARE WON THE RACE!
