Asked how Liverpool and Manchester United compare this season (by a reporter trying to create headlines), Brendan Rodgers replied -
"The benchmark for us is the best. First of all we are always challenging the team at the top - not Manchester United, who are further down.
"Liverpool has its own great history both domestically and in European football so for us the benchmark has always been the best and we will always look to do that.
"I never said when I came in here we wanted to be fourth. Top four is where we want to be but Liverpool will always be judged on being the best, both here and in Europe not against Manchester United.
"We are only concentrating on ourselves. They have some great players, they have probably one of the largest wage bills so they have top players there but I don't know the dressing room well enough to know where they are at.
"Our focus is only on Liverpool. The club decided to go a way 18 months ago and I was asked to carry on some of the brilliant work Kenny did in reshaping the club.
"We have just continued down a road which has seen us develop and improve.
"There is still a long way to go in terms of where we want to be but we are on the right road."
