Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers is confident they can close the gap on Manchester United over the long-term.
.
The Reds were left 24-points behind their rivals in the Premier League after a 2-1 defeat at Old Trafford.
.
But Rodgers insisted '' We are 24 points behind Manchester United but we are not 24 points behind in quality. The difference is down to the squad ''.
.
'' Once we close the gap in the squad I have great hope we will be able to challenge. Today's an example of that ''.
