# Liverpool: Fans love Jurgen Klopp’s wife for stopping him joining Manchester United

**Liverpool fans [reacted](https://twitter.com/AnythingLFC_/status/1194603678877069312) 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](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/34469429) after a successful tenure at the Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund and has worked [miracles](https://talksport.com/football/613686/five-key-moments-jurgen-klopp-liverpool/) since arriving on Merseyside.

Klopp has currently managed 228 matches for Liverpool and has accumulated an average points per match tally of [2.02](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jurgen-klopp/profil/trainer/118), 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.

Supporters showed their appreciation to Ulla Sandrock, Klopp’s wife, and made their feelings clear on social media after Thompson’s comments.
