(Reuters) - Former Liverpool midfielder Dietmar Hamann believes bitter rivals Manchester United will have the edge on the Merseyside club when they meet in a high-profile Premier League clash at Old Trafford on Sunday. After a mixed start to the season, sixth-placed United are on an 11-game unbeaten run in the league and have closed the gap on the top four to just three points. Hamann believes home manager Jose Mourinho has the best squad in the league and with momentum on their side, could be difficult to stop for second-placed Liverpool this weekend. "Whether a 10-point lead for Chelsea is too much I'm not sure but I still believe United have the most talented squad and once Mourinho's teams get going they can be very hard to stop," Hamann told Sky Sports. "So I think United, who nullified Liverpool at Anfield (in a goalless draw in October) might have the edge on Sunday."
