Shay Given has claimed that Man United hero Roy Keane shares similarities with current Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson with the Reds’ midfielder having proven his doubters wrong in emphatic style at Anfield.
He arrived on Merseyside from Sunderland in 2011 and initially struggled for form with the club. It was previously reported that then Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers was open to selling the midfielder to Fulham following his slow start.
The club will certainly be relieved that he was not moved on considering the success that Henderson has gone on to enjoy since. He has made just under 450 appearances for the Reds, whilst having also lifted the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup and a number of other trophies as captain.
