Liverpool legend Gerrard: I had trials at Manchester United

Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard has said he had trials with Manchester United as a youngster but always knew he wanted to play at Anfield.

Gerrard spent the majority of his playing career at Liverpool before leaving in 2015 to play for LA Galaxy in Major League Soccer.

The former England international clashed regularly with bitter rivals United throughout his career but he told the Jamie Carragher podcast it could have been different had Sir Alex Ferguson signed him as a youngster.

"It was strange really because I had a lot of letters coming at the time to go and try different places: Everton, United, Palace, West Ham to name a few," he said.
