Liverpool Change Twitter Bio Ahead Of Manchester United's EFL Cup Win

Liverpool were forced to alter their Twitter bio by a Manchester United supporter ahead of the EFL Cup final against Southampton.

Liverpool's profile claimed the mantle of being "England's most successful club with 41 major honours", but a United win at Wembley would see the Red Devils match the trophy haul.

Possibly predicting that United would indeed beat Southampton, Liverpool removed the phrase ahead of kick-off.

The club's new bio now reads: "Official worldwide account of Liverpool FC."

United made no mistake against Southampton to record a 3-2 win at the home of English football on Sunday afternoon.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic headed in his second of the game three minutes from time to help secure the Old Trafford club their 41st piece of major silverware - equaling the achievements of Liverpool.

The Reds previously stood alone at the top of the trophy charts with 18 league titles, seven FA Cups, eight League Cups, five European Cups and three UEFA Cups.

However, United's win at Wembley secured the club its fifth triumph in the League Cup to add to their record 20 league titles, 12 FA Cups, three European Cups and one Cup Winners' Cup win.

Other trophies, including the Community Shield, UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup, are not classed as major honours.

United could move ahead of their bitter rivals if they win either the FA Cup or Europa League this season, while both clubs still hold faint hopes of catching Chelsea in the race for the Premier League title.
