Coral’s Liverpool and Man Utd combined PL era all-star graduate XI

Defender: Jamie Carragher (Liverpool)
Another one-club legend, Carragher is a converted Red, having supported Merseyside rivals Everton as a boy. He retired in 2013 after 14 years at Anfield and over 500 appearances.

Defensive midfield: Nicky Butt (Man Utd)
Butt is not the highest profile Class of 92 member, but was an important part of United’s glory years, and stepped up in the famous 1999 Champions League final against Bayern Munich, in suspended Roy Keane’s absence.

Centre midfield: Steven Gerrard (Liverpool)
At the time of writing this article, Reds skipper Gerrard can still be classified as a clubman, having only played for Liverpool to date, but he will move to LA Galaxy this summer. The Kop idol is 11/4 to net anytime in perhaps his last ever match against United.

Centre midfield: Paul Scholes (Man Utd)
Scholes is perhaps one of most gifted players to have ever come out of England. He quietly went about his work, but was devastating on the pitch with his pin-point passes and ferocious shot. A true one-club legend for Man Utd.

Here is a clip of Scholes losing his cool, as he takes a swipe at Xabi Alonso…

Right wing: David Beckham (Man Utd)
Beckham is the highest profile person on this list in terms of image, but his fame off the field perhaps overshadowed his individual success on the pitch, and he twice came runner-up in the FIFA World Player of the Year award whilst at United.

Left wing: Raheem Sterling (Liverpool)
With Giggs and McManaman not eligible for this side, England’s newest star Sterling is the perfect replacement. The Jamaica-born attacker was signed as a youngster from QPR in 2010, and has been a revelation for Liverpool the past couple of seasons. Sterling is 7/4 to score anytime against Man Utd.

Striker: Michael Owen (Liverpool)
Owen is the only player to have played for both teams in this side, but his record for his first club Liverpool was stunning, as he smashed in 158 goals from 297 appearances in his eight years at Anfield.

Here is Owen scoring the second goal in the 2-0 2003 League Cup final win over his future club Man Utd…

Striker: Robbie Fowler (Liverpool)
Nicknamed simply ‘God’ by the Liverpool faithful, Fowler is fifth-equal, with Gerrard, on the all-time scorer list for the Reds (with 183). Like Owen, he never reached the heights of his first spell with the Reds after leaving the club.
