Venom. Fury. Hatred. These are just three of the superlatives that some up the bilious and poisonous relationship that exists between Liverpool and Manchester United. With messrs Benitez, Suarez and Ferguson only serving to dial up the angst and tension between the two sets of supporters in recent years, it has often risen to unbearable proportions. Which is exactly why most of the Manchester United players like to remain silent about their past near misses when it came to signing on the dotted line at Anfield. With many having established themselves as fan favourites at the Stretford End, it will come as a bit of an unwelcome shock to learn that so many of them were almost teaming up with the likes of Jamie Redknapp, Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher. In some cases, however, there have been players who have foolishly demanded transfers to Anfield, seemingly unaware of the commotion their silly antics would cause. They clearly must have had earplugs in when lining out at a ferocious and vociferous Anfield for the Red Devils the previous season. So take a look at the ten player who nearly ended up signing for Liverpool, instead of Manchester United. In some cases, these last-minute interventions may have ultimately decided the destinations of a couple of league titles.
