Torres: Everyone at Liverpool lives to beat Man Utd

Liverpool ace Fernando Torres admits beating Manchester United 4-1 at Old Trafford 18 months ago remains his best moment as a Red. On that day United led 1-0 before suffering a stunning 4-1 home defeat, Torres scoring the equaliser.

And the Spain World Cup winner said: "Hardly anybody ever wins at Old Trafford and beating Manchester United 4-1 on their own ground is practically unheard of.

"We went 1-0 down as well which made the victory that much more impressive. I scored the equaliser and to this day I think that has to be one of my favourite days wearing the Liverpool shirt."

He also told Match of the Day magazine: "I walk my dogs round the city, and before matches like United the fans will tell you good luck and things like that. It's clear how much the Manchester United games means to them, we have been rivals a lot of years.

"Liverpool fans are great, when you play well they are behind you and when you are not playing the best they are still behind you.

"Beating United means everything to them. We are the two most successful teams in England but it has not be nice for the Liverpool fans to watch Manchester United have so much success over the recent years.

"We have a great squad and a great manager, and we really hope to give the fans a trophy this season, as well as beating Manchester United for them."
