Steven Gerrard set to beat Manchester United to exciting signing
By Bence Bocsak
Gerrard will beat Manchester United in this transfer race.
No matter how many goals Steven Gerrard scored against Manchester United. No matter how many times he led his teammates to victory against the Red Devils, the United faithful will always have a looming edge over his head. The fact that Gerrard never managed to win the coveted Premier League has exposed him to endless taunts and jibes.
It is a failure which the Red Devils faithful will never overlook. The rivalry between Liverpool and Man United is as ancient as time itself and because of those hostilities Gerrard’s name will forever be enshrouded in infamy at Old Trafford.
Even after having hung his boots up the jibes about his career have persisted. Gerrard is an indelible figure and while he can no longer exact his revenge on the pitch, he might be about to do it in the transfer window.
