The Sun says Suarez served an eight-match ban for racially abusing Patrice Evra last October - then caused uproar by refusing to shake the United defender's hand when the sides met in February.

Sunday's game will be Liverpool's first at Anfield since the publication of the Hillsborough report, which cleared their fans of blame for the 1989 disaster which claimed 96 lives.

A United insider revealed: "On a day such as Sunday, which is bound to be full of all kinds of emotion, no one wants anything to happen that will tarnish the match.

"Luis and Patrice will shake hands just as every other player will shake hands.

"They want to show unity between United and Liverpool.

"It is only proper that the right example should come from players on the pitch."
