Former Premier League ace Loic Remy has opened up about the "craziest" transfer of his career, which saw him join Chelsea after moves to Liverpool and Arsenal failed to materialise

In the summer of 2014, former Blues striker Loic Remy was in the midst of a "crazy" transfer saga in which moves to Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea were on the table

According to reports, Liverpool have set their sights on signing a new fullback in the January transfer window.

With an unprecedented 13 Premier League places between the teams going into Sunday's meeting, this is now a rivalry based on history

When Liverpool won 3-0 at Old Trafford in September, Manchester United fell to 14th and that is where they still find themselves more than four months later but 23 points behind the Premier League leaders ahead of Sunday's game at Anfield.

While one is in contention for four trophies, the other is talking about top-flight survival - how did they take such divergent paths? Liverpool versus Manchester United used to be English football's fiercest rivalry.
