Former Reds captain describes Premier League title as "holy grail" and more significant than Champions League
Phil Thompson believes Premier League fans fear another period of Liverpool dominance would be ushered in if they end their long wait for the title this season.
Jurgen Klopp's side are in the midst of Liverpool's strongest title challenge since they were last crowned champions of England 29 years ago, and Thompson believes their rivals are concerned.
"A lot of fans are worried about the cycle coming around again, not just Manchester United," Thompson told Sky Sports News.
"They are frightened. That's why they are starting to get nervous of Liverpool winning the Premier League again.
"A lot of people don't want it like the 70s and 80s again and a lot of people wouldn't want Manchester United to do it again."
Liverpool can strengthen their title challenge with victory at Manchester United on Sunday
