Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has said that he was saddened by the vicious attack on the Anfield club, and its players including Steven Gerrard, throughout Manchester United legend Sir Alex Ferguson's new book.
According to the Mirror, Rodgers insisted he must defend Kop stars such as Steven Gerrard and Jordan Henderson, who he claims were unfairly maligned.
The Liverpool manager even accused Ferguson of trying to bring the club down because he resented chasing them for so many years.
Rodgers even suggested that the former Old Trafford boss owes Henderson an apology for trying to damage his career, and slammed the Scot for 'inappropriate' comments that breach etiquette in terms of talking about other clubs' players.
Rodgers also said that he thought every football person would have enjoyed seeing Ferguson go out and leave the legacy he had done but now people were going to talk about his comments in the book.
