CAOIMHÍN Kelleher knew all about the Liverpool-Manchester United rivalry growing up as a young football fan in Cork. This afternoon, at Old Trafford, the goalkeeper experiences the fixture first-hand for the second time in three weeks, vindicating his decision to stay at Anfield.

Speculation was rife last summer, fueled in no small part from within the Ireland international camp, that the 25-year-old would seek to leave Liverpool in search of regular first-team football.
