NBA legend and Liverpool supporter LeBron James delivered a sensational blow to a Manchester United supporter when they tried to interview him in the US.

James is one of the biggest sports personalities on the planet and he has a deep affection for the Reds.

The 40-year-old's association with Liverpool began in 2011 when he bought a minority stake in the club.



Since then, James has been a huge advocate for Liverpool and often posts about the club's successes on his social media channels.

James is not merely an investor in the Reds, he is also a supporter of the club, as was proven this week when he was interviewed by LA Lakers reporter Mike Trudell, who turned up to the interview in a United jacket.

Taking one look at the jacket, James did not hold back telling Trudell: "That is a horrible jacket by the way.

The back and forth was all in good spirits with Trudell posting the footage on his Instagram with the caption: "My Manchester United jacket and I survived this onslaught from a Liverpool part-owner."

When he initially bought a two per cent stake in the Reds, James' investment was valued at $6m (£4.7m).
