This 'would you rather' question is dividing fans
Every single one of us dreams of representing Manchester United and leading the club to glory, as a player or manager – and there is one fixture that always comes to mind in this fantasy.
Liverpool away is unquestionably one of the biggest games of the season for many supporters, if not the biggest, and memories always come flooding back whenever this occasion comes around.
This blockbuster occasion provides an incomparable stage that can forge reputations and even cement legacies, as a select group of United players and managers have experienced in recent history - both on and off the pitch.
While dreaming about this Sunday’s Premier League collision - when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side could move six points clear at the top - we came up with this difficult hypothetical question:
At Anfield, would you rather…
- Save a penalty
- Score the winner
- Captain the team to a win
- Manage the team in a victory
