No doubt Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp would have watched with a mixture of bemusement and surprise as Cristiano Ronaldo blew the lid off his second spell at Manchester United.
In a trademark self-serving diatribe, Ronaldo said he felt "betrayed" by United and that boss Erik ten Hag and a number of other prominent figures wanted him out of the club, despite the player himself having attempted to engineer a move away in the summer.
The Portugal international also stuck the boot into former United manager Ralf Rangnick - claiming he'd never heard of the German coach - and had a dig at old team-mate Wayne Rooney.
