Pele excited ahead of Liverpool clash with Man Utd

Pele is looking forward to today's Liverpool clash with Manchester United.

The Brazilian will attend the game at Anfield.

"I've been at Anfield before to film a few promos - however, this will be the first time I'll attend a game at this level at the stadium," he told Liverpoolfc.com.

"It's a good football game for one to watch. People have asked me which team I'll support on Sunday.

"I won't support any of them actually. I'm really hoping to watch a great football game instead. I'm really looking forward to watching an awesome match.

"You see how odd football can be sometimes - the Premier League has such a high level but still there's no English club in the Champions League quarter-finals.

"I believe both Liverpool and Manchester United can be compared to any of the best Brazilian football clubs. Let's see whether I'll be lucky enough to watch a good game."
