'If I'd have played for Manchester United, I'd have hated coming back here too'!' Steven Gerrard gives playful dig at former Liverpool team-mate Michael Owen after discussing his return to Anfield as Aston Villa boss

Steven Gerrard couldn't resist a cheeky quip at Michael Owen's Manchester United past after his former Liverpool team-mate quizzed him on his Anfield return.

As Aston Villa boss, Gerrard was back at Liverpool for the first time in six years when he last appeared for the club that he played at for over 17 years, featuring in over 700 games and captaining them to Champions League glory in 2005.

Liverpool supporters gave him a standing ovation on his return but his side were unable to avoid slipping to a 1-0 defeat courtesy of a Mohamed Salah penalty.
