Devilish claim from Reds star
Liverpool midfielder Javier Mascherano has already put his foot in it at Anfield - by saying he now considers himself a Red Devil.
The Argentine World Cup star is still waiting for clearance to make his debut, having joined from West Ham on deadline day last week.
But he has already caused a storm by referring to the Kop kings as the Red Devils, the nickname of bitter rivals Manchester United.
Mascherano said: "I have disconnected myself from West Ham and signed a contract with Liverpool.
"I can consider myself a Red Devil. It's now just up to the Premier League to authorise me to play, something I believe should happen because it was they who made the appeal to FIFA to allow me to move clubs. I hope the situation is resolved as soon as possible."
Mascherano's stay at West Ham turned into a nightmare as he only managed 235 minutes of Premiership action for the London outfit.
And he is now hoping that the move to Merseyside will kickstart his career once again.
He added in The Sun: "Rafa Benitez asked me if I wanted to stay in England or if I'd prefer to go elsewhere. When I told him I wanted to play this football and prove that I can adapt to it, he fought to sign me."
