Manchester United legend Gary Neville admits he tried to convince Steven Gerrard to quit Liverpool for Old Trafford.
Neville made his play during one England camp.
In his book, 'Red by Gary Neville', Neville revealed: "Steven Gerrard is undoubtedly a world class player and I wish he'd played for United. I went on a tapping-up mission at Euro 2004 when I knew Chelsea were trying to take advantage of Liverpool being in turmoil.
"'Come play for United,' I said one day to Steven when we were in the hotel. 'The fans will take to you in no time.' He just laughed, and said: 'I'll do it if you go to Anfield.'"
