Former Liverpool man Fabio Borini has made a surprising choice when naming the best teammates he has shared a dressing room with during his career, selecting a player widely considered to be a flop at Anfield. Salford City announced his surprise signing as a free agent last month, with Borini returning to England eight years after departing Sunderland to join AC Milan.

“[Mario] Balotelli was one of the best because of his technical abilities” said Borini in an interview with the Independent. “He was a great player with not much control of his mind.” Borini only played alongside his Italian counterpart seven times during his short-lived spell at Anfield, although the pair were also briefly teammates with the Italian Under-21 side.

He also revealed in his interview with the Independent that co-owners Gary Neville and David Beckham had no impact on his decision to join Salford.
