Liverpool fans left confused by Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson's declaration of love

The Rock has caused confusion by appearing to claim he is a Liverpool fan.

But Macclesfield supporters may have something to say before the Reds claim him as one of their own.

Ahead of his next movie, Black Adam, Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson was doing promo material in England and appeared to be asked where his football allegiances lie.

The former WWE Champion had previously taken to social media to announce his support for Macclesfield, but the footage appeared to show him making an unusual u-turn.

The Rock said in an interview with TalkSport: "Do I support a team? Yes. The pride of Cheshire.

To which the interviewer replied: "Liverpool?"

Johnson said: "Yes, Liverpool."

But, this may cause confusion among Macclesfield fans if they are to discover they've lost their most famous supporter after the Rock tweeted this back in 2011.

"Damn right! Macclesfield is my team. The pride of Cheshire! #TeamBringIt"

Macclesfield may have some further evidence that the Rock is a fan after his appearance on Soccer AM seemed to confirm that as he said: "Do I have a message for my people of Macclesfield? Yeah the message is always I thank them so much for their love and support and every time I go back there the amount of love I get really moves me!" he said.

"We're the pride of Cheshire, but I think we've lost our last five games in a row."
