Manchester United and Liverpool were topics in an interview given by Swedish defender Henrik Castegren this week.
The player was interviewed by Allsvenskan, and when quizzed about his future, there was a very specific story about the two English clubs.
The reason for it is that Castegren is a Liverpool fan, while his wife, who’s a social media influencer, recently made a joke with him by showing their son wearing a Manchester United shirt.
So while the centre-back claims that he wants to play at the highest level possible, the newspaper asked him whether it’s the Red Devils who’d be a ‘dream club’ for him.

So while the centre-back claims that he wants to play at the highest level possible, the newspaper asked him whether it’s the Red Devils who’d be a ‘dream club’ for him.
Castegren laughed at that, and ended up admitting that his support for Liverpool wouldn’t be enough for him to reject Manchester United.
“Ha, ha, ha. To be honest, I probably wouldn’t have turned down United but it was a bit of a shock to see Frans in a United shirt. It took a maximum of 20 minutes, then the shirt was folded in a package at a post office, ready to be sent back. Then we went to the nearest sports shop and bought a Liverpool shirt. Now he is completely in love with Sirius, Liverpool and Sweden.”
Castegren, who played for a few Swedish clubs, recently had a spell in Poland, and came back to his home country by switching KS Lechia for Sirius. He’s now about to turn 28, and it becomes unlikely that Liverpool and Manchester United could try his signing, although the local media likes to joke about that.

Harry Maguire says Manchester United have an 18-year-old who’s like Jude Bellingham
Manchester United defender Harry Maguire has waxed lyrical about Kobbie Mainoo, explaining why the Red Devils ace reminds him of Jude Bellingham.
Maguire, speaking to The Times, said the Old Trafford academy graduate is a “strong, powerful” midfielder who looks as though he’s “got everything”.
Mainoo has become a fixture in the Manchester United starting XI this season after only making his first Premier League start in November.
The 18-year-old then scored his first Premier League goal in February, a superb solo effort against Wolves to hand the Red Devils a 4-3 win.
Mainoo has been so impressive and has so much potential that Gareth Southgate has named him in the latest England squad.
The youngster could well make his Three Lions debut this month, with the Euro 2020 finalists set for friendlies against Brazil and Belgium at Wembley.
What has Harry Maguire said about Manchester United teammate Kobbie Mainoo?
Many within the world of football have been raving about Mainoo, and Maguire is the latest to sing his praises.
I’ve been a massive fan of him ever since he first started training with us,” Maguire said.
“I remember speaking to Tom Heaton [United’s reserve goalkeeper] about him and saying, ‘I feel like this boy has got everything.’
“He can handle the ball brilliantly. He’s really strong and powerful. The No 6 role is a huge responsibility and I’m sure the positional part of his game will improve drastically the more he plays.
“You’ve seen on Sunday the ability and talent he has, and he fully deserves his call-up [to the England senior side].
It’s actually incredible he’s 18, he’s so mature. He’s a bit like Jude [Bellingham] was when he was a young boy. He’s got a mature head on his shoulders.
“He just wants to work hard and do well. I congratulated him, said he deserved it, keep it up, and make sure he enjoys himself.”
It’s always great to see an academy talent make the breakthrough at a huge club like Manchester United, and Defender says he wouldn’t reject Manchester United, but Liverpool are by far his favourite club
