It’s safe to assume that many Manchester United supporters won’t miss Jurgen Klopp and Mohamed Salah if this is the last time they visit Old Trafford.
And the image of Klopp colouring the air a deep blue colour on Sunday afternoon after Erik ten Hag’s team was thrashed 2-1 by fierce rivals Liverpool, is undoubtedly the kind of farewell “gift” that Manchester United supporters can accept.
In the best of circumstances, Klopp is never the most understanding when things go wrong. Ask that poor reporter on ViaPlay, please. After that eventual 2-2 draw, the German, who may leave Anfield this summer with Salah, could not resist the opportunity to poke fun at Ten Hag.
He insisted that the three points would only go one way if Man United plays to the same level against Arsenal on the penultimate weekend of the Premier League season.
However, even Klopp was left scratching his head (figuratively speaking, of course) at the goal that levelled Man United yesterday, when Bruno Fernandes capitalised on a mistake by Jarrel Quansah, giving the impression of Scott McTominay against Manchester City in 2020. Premier League match:

“I’m pleased with several aspects of the game. It’s amazing to be ahead 1-0 at Old Trafford and to have shot 15-0 (first half). “Come outdoors (for the second half) and keep the game under control; after that, we gave the ball away.” It is not an issue because these errors have occurred in the past and will continue to occur beyond today.

They essentially scored the second goal during this stadium excitement and mood rise, and we regained control of the game after that. Additionally, Klopp highlighted a couple of very brilliant moments from the 18-year-old Mainoo, who opened his Old Trafford career with a spectacular finish on the turn, as well as another outstanding stop from the perpetually overworked Andre Onana.
The Cameroonian, who proved to be so reliable in 2024, immediately stopped Dominik Szoboszlai with a play right out of Peter Schmeichel’s playbook. Manchester United irritates Liverpool once more. Liverpool has only scored twice from 62 shots on goal against Manchester United in the Premier League this season, according to Klopp, who claims that “we should have won the game, that is clear” (BBC Sport). “We ought to have scored more goals in the first half by now. “Very impressive work, Bruno. It took us a few minutes to calm down, and during that time, they scored another loud cry. Before and after their goal, we had numerous opportunities.
“In my opinion, we now have one more point than we did previously. That is the way it is; they put in an additional shift. That will come up again when we play Everton. a justifiable equaliser. “It tells me right away once more that there’s probably something about the finishing.
Either way, we should and could have been more composed and precise in those crucial situations. In the case of Dom Szoboszlai, his save was nothing short of amazing. You are now ahead 1-0, so everything is OK.
