Everton winger Anthony Gordon has no problem with the big expectations of Blues fans.
Gordon grew up in Kirkdale next to Goodison Park and joined the club's academy aged 11.
He said, "As a local lad you are judged to a higher standard because the fans expect more of you.
"But nobody holds me to a higher standard than I do myself. I'm from literally two minutes away from the stadium and just having normal people thinking something of me is unbelievable.
"I've always wanted that because I've seen other players coming through and been in the same position looking up to them.
"I looked up to any Scouser that played football. It is not an easy place to come from, to see them going on and making something good of themselves was inspiring.
"To hear the fans chanting my name at United was probably the best moment of my life. I've dreamed about that since I was, I can't even think how old. I've always loved the fans singing, so I probably enjoyed that more than a goal."
