Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford explains why he dislikes his team's old enemy Liverpool more than city rivals Manchester City, according to the Mirror.
Rashford, who has spent his entire career at Old Trafford, has spoken about United's rivalries with local rivals Manchester City and Liverpool.
In recent years, there has been much debate about who has the greater rivalry with United.
Rashford, 24, has stated openly that he dislikes both Liverpool and City, claiming that United's rivalry with the Reds is more bitter due to the two clubs' long history.
Rashford told NBA superstar LeBron James on Uniterrupted that his hatred for Liverpool is more intense than his hatred for Manchester City.
“Liverpool. "I don't like Liverpool or City," Rashford said. "Obviously, Liverpool has history, so it's a little more bitter, but with City, it's like you don't like them but don't really have a good reason not to."
"You just grow up and there are two Manchester teams, one in light blue and one in red." But the rivalry with Liverpool feels much more intense."
When asked about grounds he both loves and despises, Rashford mentioned Anfield. The 46-cap England international admitted that the Reds' fans have a big influence when they play at their 53,000-seater stadium.
Rashford added, "Liverpool is like both." "Their fans have the ability to take the game away from you. They can take it away from you if you let them.
"My first game at Anfield, I almost got sent off right away, and I'm not a malicious player - I wouldn't intentionally try to hurt someone."
'Their fans can take the game away from you,' he said of playing at Anfield. They can take it away from you if you let them.
