Torres - I won't join a rival

02 October 2009 08:03
Liverpool striker Fernando Torres has revealed he does not envisage ever playing for another Premier League club, especially Manchester United. Torres has made a stunning impact since joining Liverpool from Atletico Madrid in 2007 and has scored 58 goals in 93 appearances for the club. He has also enjoyed an impressive start to the new season, netting eight goals to date, including a hat-trick in last week's 6-1 thrashing of Hull City. Reds boss Rafa Benitez recently admitted that rival Premier League sides had enquired about the Spain ace over the summer, with Manchester City and Chelsea rumoured to have shown an interest. However, the 25-year-old would not countenance leaving Anfield for another English club, particularly old adversaries United. "I can understand the feelings between Man Utd and Liverpool," Torres told Sport magazine when asked about the chances of playing for the Premier League champions. "I'm a foreign player, but I know how the Liverpool fans feel and I remember the welcome I had when I arrived - it was amazing. "I hope to play a lot of years or maybe even finish my career here. "I don't know, but Liverpool is my English team and I don't think about playing for another one."
