Liverpool mega bucks signing Henderson grew up idolising Man Utd!

Liverpool's £20 million signing Jordan Henderson admits he was Manchester United mad when growing up!

Speaking with The Sun last October in Romania ahead of a crunch Under-21 Euro 2011 play-off clash, the new Anfield star admitted he idolised United as a kid.

He said: "When I was little my heroes were Ryan Giggs and David Beckham. Obviously I had heroes at Sunderland as well but Beckham and Giggs were the ones I admired.

"When I was growing up, United were the best team to watch with the likes of Beckham, Scholes, Giggs and Keane."
