Manchester United are eyeing a historic summer move for a Liverpool star. Many players have played for both of these two English giants.
In recent history, Michael Owner and Paul Ince are two examples of this. However, since Phil Chisnall moved from United to Liverpool in 1964, no player has transferred directly between the two sides.
