Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney insists there won't be any nerves if they draw Liverpool in the Champions League quarterfinals today.

The clubs' rivalry has never been bigger after the Kop kings stunned Alex Ferguson's side by winning 4-1 at Old Trafford in the league last Saturday.

Rooney's admission that he still hated Liverpool after growing up an Everton fan added extra spice.

The England striker, 23, said: "We know Liverpool always play well in Europe. It would be a couple of exciting games - but we'd take it."
