Sir Alex Ferguson warned Wayne Rooney he will be Liverpool's Public Enemy No. 1 after admitting he" hated" Manchester United's title rivals.
Boss Fergie has told Rooney to expect fierce provocation and taunts from the Kop fans in the lunchtime kick-off at Old Trafford, which has been billed as the Premier League decider.
Ferguson admitted:" Wayne takes a lot of stick, he always does. But he's maturing. Wayne has had plenty of stick over the years playing against Liverpool, which is understandable given his loyalty to Everton as a kid and the fact he played for them.
“Now he's at United he wants us to win.
“So I don't think what he said was anything out of the ordinary. Everyone uses the word 'hate' - it's easy to say I 'hate' this or I 'hate' that.
It doesn't mean a lot. As revealed by Mirror Sport yesterday, United tried to silence Rooney by removing his remarks from their official website, fearing they could incite trouble. Despite that move, Fergie has still told Rooney to expect relentless abuse.
