Before Manchester United won their first league title with Sir Alex Ferguson, we had seven league titles and Liverpool had 18. By the time he retired, it was 20-18 to us. Fergie famously said that his greatest achievement was knocking Liverpool off their f**king perch, and Ander Herrera has discussed that today.

Liverpool is the big one for all of us. We know our history. I know Sir Alex changed the history of this rivalry because, when he came, Liverpool were a long way ahead, in terms of titles. But after Ferguson’s time here, now we are ahead – and clearly ahead – so I know what it means to our fans.

Before coming to United, I watched a game when ­Liverpool won here 3-0 and Steven Gerrard scored two penalties and missed another. But all our stadium was singing ‘20 times, 20 times, Man United’ to make ­Liverpool remember that we have more titles. It is just a game with three points at the end, but we all know what the history means.
