Marcus Rashford Reveals Premier League Side He Hates The Most

Marcus Rashford, a forward for Manchester United, has admitted that he hates Liverpool more than any other team.

Rashford is more interested in the Reds’ matchup with Manchester City than the intense rivalry the Red Devils have with the Premier League champions.

Both United and Liverpool have experienced dominant periods, and Sir Alex Ferguson’s trophy-laden era at Old Trafford was inspired by a desire to equal Liverpool’s tally of Premier League titles or, in the Scot’s words, “knock them off their perch.”

United now has one more than their competitors, 20, in total.

Rashford responded to Gary Neville’s question about the Overlap, “Liverpool, I don’t like either of them, but I dislike them more.”

Later, doubling down, adding, “It is Liverpool, all day.”

In his career, Rashford has scored six goals against Liverpool.
