| Steven Gerrard has revealed how much he hates Manchester United |
Gerrard, who quit Liverpool after 18 years to join MLS side LA Galaxy at the end of last season, says the clashes between the arch rivals were always "personal".
“I had been taught to loathe Manchester United," he said.
“It was drilled into our brains, hardening our hearts and conditioning our souls as Liverpool fans.
“It was tattooed into the head of every Liverpool fan. We had never liked each other, as clubs or cities, but the animosity had become deeper.
“Liverpool had been dominant for so long — then, finally, United took over under Sir Alex Ferguson.
“For more than 26 years, I’d always felt compelled to show fire towards them. They were the enemy.
“Their shirt is the only one I won’t allow in my house. I have a big collection of shirts I’ve swapped with other players — but not one from United.”
