Three big players from Liverpool's future turned out at Altrincham on a chilly Friday night to watch the club's next generation in action.
Steve McManaman and Rob Jones were on the sidelines at the J Davidson Stadium for the game against Manchester United, while Steven Gerrard took his place among the coaching staff on the bench.
Between them, the three ex-pros racked up 1,317 appearances for the Reds during their time at Anfield and as a result have plenty of knowledge to impart to those players bidding to follow in their footsteps.
Gerrard, who was appointed to a coaching role in the Liverpool academy in January, was animated on the touchline pre-match.
