Transfers between Liverpool and Man Utd

This is all i could find:

"I can recall transfers taking place between Manchester Utd and just about every top side in England - except Liverpool. Have the two clubs ever concluded a transfer deal? If so, when and involving whom? (And if not, why not?)"

As you might expect, the fierce rivalry between the clubs has limited the amount of transfer activity between them. However there has been the odd moment in history (albeit from a long time ago) where this mutual antipathy has briefly dissipated. At the end of the second world war, for instance, Matt Busby retired as a player from Liverpool to become manager at Old Trafford.

But the last player to move between the clubs was Phil Chisnall back in April 1964. The inside-right played 35 games for United before his transfer to Liverpool for a then-substantial sum of £25,000. But Chisnall never established himself at Anfield, although he did play in Liverpool's first European match (against Reykjavik in August 1964) and in the first-ever Match of the Day game (a 3-2 win over Arsenal). But after being dropped after a defeat at Leeds in the next match, he never re-established himself in the first team, and his record for Liverpool makes sorry reading. In three seasons at the club he played just eight times (scoring two goals) before he was transferred to Southend in 1967.

I guess Wayne Rooney is about the closest you'll get to a Scouser playing for United now days.
