Rio Ferdinand has said that Manchester United's games against Liverpool are the ones that he looks forward to the most.

The Anfield side travel to Old Trafford tomorrow to face the Premier League leaders.

The United defender told the club's website: "I would say it is the fixture we look forward to first. The rivalry runs deep.

"Liverpool have not been up there fighting for the championship, but the fans and the players are well versed in what this means to us as a club.

"You just want to add your name and be a part of a team that joins that long list of events that have gone on. I always enjoy playing against Liverpool, either at Anfield or Old Trafford. Hopefully this is another good, exciting and winning occasion for us."

United have won seven of the last eight league games at Old Trafford.
