It's been 58 years since Phil Chisnall became the last player to move directly between Liverpool and Manchester United. In the six decades since, only one player has come even close and Sir Alex Ferguson dug his heels in to ensure it wouldn't happen.
Such are the fiery relations between the two great rivals, business between them just isn't done, with the legendary Scot making sure that both Rafa Benitez and Gabriel Heinze knew such a fact back in 2007.
Reds fans won't shed a tear this. As good as United were at their peak under Ferguson, knocking Liverpool off their perch in the process, they were a side you loved to hate, littered with players you just couldn't stand. Why should their club be soiled be a player who has played for their most hated of rivals?
