I had positive role models at Liverpool like Gary McAllister and Sami Hyypia but the greatest influencer by far was the manager, Gerard Houllier.
He could annihilate you and make you feel a million dollars on the same day. I know Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher credit him for their successful careers, as I do.
It feels like Marcus Rashford and Manchester United could do with someone like Houllier at the moment.
A lack of dressing room leaders has been blamed for the long decline at Old Trafford but nobody can say Casemiro, Raphael Varane and Jonny Evans aren’t excellent professionals.
