The Reds chief, Jurgen Klopp, insists that the glory of the Euro is only the beginning for a team that he thinks will only improve, while he says he will not be happy. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will spend his first pre-season as United boss to reorganize their team.
Meanwhile, Tottenham's misery in Madrid extended his incredible career without a trophy triumph at 4,118 days.
Liverpool and United are well placed in the standings, with Arsenal 30, 24 for Chelsea and Aston Villa at 20.
So, who is really special at the top by comparing the two clubs that reach the top?
It depends on the value you give to each competition, especially the top national tournaments and the best European clubs.
Liverpool has been champion of England 18 times and the euro six times.
United is at the top of the list of top 20 players but has only won three times the European Cup or the Champions League.

Johnny-come-Lately, Manchester City may well be in the top five of this decade.
The city's National Trebles, including a second consecutive Prem title, earned them 19 trophies.
They have now won six high flying crowns – four in the last eight years – but their only continental glory has been to win the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1970.
This could make Etihad chief Pep Guardiola more eager to break their duck of the Champions League next term, as it will be the 50th anniversary of their 2-1 win over CEWC Polish Gornik Zabrze in Vienna.
But despite Guardiola's thirst to win the most prestigious trophy of all clubs, the City triple 2018-19 will mean that they will not be as destitute for silverware as poor Spurs.
Despite winning twice the highest flight and the FA Cup eight times, Tottenham has won only one trophy during this century.
That happened when they won their fourth league success in 2008, beating Chelsea 2-1.
