Poll: Who scored the best Man United v Liverpool goal ever?
Published:
This weekend sees the return of not only the Premier League but also one of the top flight’s biggest rivalries as Manchester United take on Liverpool at Old Trafford.
Wayne Rooney has promised to take the confidence gained from breaking the England scoring record during the international break onto the pitch and put United’s bitter enemies to the sword.

Dimitar Berbatov – September 2010
