Liverpool fans reacted to the news that manager Jurgen Klopp’s wife prevented him from taking the role of Manchester United boss.
The 52-year-old joined up with the Reds in 2015 after a successful tenure at the Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund and has worked miracles since arriving on Merseyside.
Klopp has currently managed 228 matches for Liverpool and has accumulated an average points per match tally of 2.02, the highest of his managerial career.
Sky Sports pundit and former Liverpool captain Phil Thompson, who lifted the European Cup for the Reds in 1981, confirmed during an interview with Klopp that the Manchester club was not right for him.
Klopp’s wife prevented Klopp taking the Man Utd job 👀
Thompson: “I interviewed Klopp for Sky, & I asked if he & Liverpool were created for each other. He looked at me & asked why. Then Klopp told me he could have taken over Manchester United, but his wife said it wasn’t right.” pic.twitter.com/XR89t6r4Lh
