Liverpool defender Jarell Quansah has opened up on his reasons for choosing to sign for the club.

Quansah had his pick of teams when he was a youth player, with both Manchester clubs chasing after him.

However, the 21-year-old turned down both United and City in favor of playing for the Reds.

“I went around different places to see what was out there," he told The Athletic.

“I did City, Manchester United, Wigan, Bolton… all of them.

“Back then, I was just playing and enjoying what I was doing. Any time I could play football, I was happy.

“My parents thought having more options would be better.

“I just remember Liverpool offering the best training. That was where I enjoyed my football the most and that's why I stayed."
