Liverpool starlet Conor Bradley rejected Manchester United as a younger player.

The newest Anfield starlet is only 20 but has already shone at right-back for the team this term.

The Northern Irish star was the man of the match against Chelsea last week, and admitted to being a lifelong Reds fan.

"I had Chelsea and Manchester United looking at me as well [as Liverpool]," Bradley told the Belfast Telegraph.

"I went to United and Southampton on trial but we picked Liverpool. It wasn't just because I support them, it was because they're a real family club and that's something we all really appreciate.

“They're also keen on the education side of it, which is very important to me."
