Adrian keen to rival Alisson for number-one role at Liverpool

Goalkeeper Adrian suggests that he is not prepared to settle for a backup role to Alisson at Liverpool.

Goalkeeper Adrian has claimed that Liverpool have 'two number ones' competing for one position at Anfield.

Since Alisson sustained a calf injury during the opening match of the season, Adrian has deputised for the Brazilian, making a total of 10 appearances in all competitions.

However, despite Alisson now being ready to make his return, Adrian has insisted that he has no intention of settling for the role of deputy.

The 32-year-old told The Telegraph: "When I signed for Liverpool I knew I was coming for a big challenge in my career and I think the competition makes us better. So to have two number ones in the team is great for both of us.

"It's a good decision for the manager because everyone wants to have the best and I think we are here - two number ones.

"It's not my mentality to be a number two and even less so when I am 32. Maybe in four, five years time I will tell you differently but it's much better than being in a comfort zone of one number one and the other sitting on the bench forever."

Alisson is in contention to be handed a start for Sunday's Premier League showdown at Manchester United.
