They have also taken a total of 11 titles since bridging a 26-year gap in 1993. Last year's win brought them level with Liverpool (the dominant force in English football during the 1970s and 1980s) on 18 league championships, and the league championship (ie the Premier League) is the most prized competition in English domestic football.
If we are to look at European competition, then United are the English club who have competed in the last two Champions League finals, defeating Chelsea in 2008, but being beaten by Barcelona in 2009.
Manchester United have been European champions three times, but this is still two short of Liverpool's record of five.
So currently Manchester United are having the better of things, but if we take a historical view, Liverpool may still have a slight advantage.

M$Both as a Football club and as a marketing machine and 'brand'.
The competitions that establish the 'best' club are as follows
FA. Cup - MUFC have won this cup more than any other team, 11 times, vs 10 for Arsenal, 8 for Totenham and 7 for Liverpool.
League Cup - cup, but similar idea to the FA cup and usually a lower priority, Manchester United have done the 'double' winning both the league cup and the FA cup three times and have won the league cup just four times, compared to Liverpools' 7 times.
Statistically Manchester United are among the 'best' teams and have been for many years, but as there is no outright 'best' it is tough to say
Years of watching footie....
