Man Utd fans plan Cantona campaign for Anfield trip

Manchester United fans have long memories and will be winding up their Liverpool rivals at Anfield tomorrow.

The Sun says after a thrilling 3-3 Anfield draw in January 1994, Liverpool supporters unfurled a taunting banner which read: "Au revoir, Cantona and Man United. Come back when you've won 18."

Now, following a 15-year wait, the bitter rivals are all square in terms of titles won - and United fans are relishing the prospect of letting the home crowd know just that.

They plan to arrive at Anfield sporting masks of United legend Eric Cantona.

T-shirts have also been printed with the slogan "18 titles and that's a fact," in reference to Rafa's rant of a year ago.

Another shows former Kop idol Michael Owen celebrating a goal with the tag, "Welcome to Manchester."

Yet that doesn't mean they are ignoring the chance of smuggling in inflatables after Sunderland's infamous deflected winner against the Reds last week.

Liverpool's own website sold out of the £10 towel and beachball set within a day of the Stadium of Light fiasco.
