A former Manchester United player could be set for a reunion with his old club when Liverpool travel to Marseille in the Champions League in January, but there's an issue with what he saidLiverpool are set to host Manchester United at Anfield this Sunday, hoping to extend their impressive nine-year unbeaten streak at home against their arch-rivals. Having also played there twice as a Lille player, Gomes has experienced enough to rank it among the top three stadiums in Europe."When you play in the Champions League and you get good results, everyone sees it," he told Le Phoccen.
