Mikael Silvestre:

"I was in contact with Gerard Houllier to sign there, but it
didn't happen and I'm glad. There is no point comparing
Liverpool and Manchester United for the last 10 years it is
not the same level.

"It is strange that they have been struggling but they won
against Fulham at the weekend and we lost against them so
you never know in football. After losing both the league
games last season they know they can't afford to lose again
against us.

"It was a great victory winning at Anfield and it was good
for us celebrating that afternoon in the dressing room. It's
always special to go to Anfield. I played my first game for
United against Liverpool.

"It is a derby and we have lost too many during the last few
years so it was a good season last year and I hope it is the
same on Sunday."

Mikael has been called up to the French squad along with
Fabien Barthez.
