Liverpool full-back Andy Robertson has admitted he would have liked to have played alongside former Manchester United striker Henrik Larsson.

The Swedish striker had a short-lived spell at Old Trafford after joining on loan from Helsingborgs in January 2007. He would make just 13 appearances for Sir Alex Ferguson's side, scoring three goals before his temporary spell at the club came to an end.

Despite Larsson not leaving a huge legacy behind, Robertson was in no doubt about which player he would play alongside if he could pick any player who has played in the Premier League.

Robertson said when asked to name a player: "Henrik Larsson when he played at Manchester United. Growing up, he was my idol."
