‘Man United Just Defended Against Us’- Liverpool Boss Klopp

Jurgen Klopp said Man Utd “just defended” against his Liverpool side in the 1-1 draw at Old Trafford, but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer thought otherwise.

Adam Lallana’s late equaliser cancelled out Marcus Rashford’s opener on Super Sunday, in a game littered in VAR controversy. Liverpool, on a 17-game winning run, were clear favourites, but United gave them a tough time throughout.

United had 32.1 per cent possession, the second-lowest they’ve registered in a Premier League game at Old Trafford since 2003/04, and though Klopp insisted he meant no offence, he says United “just defended” for the third consecutive year in this fixture.

Asked whether United’s style frustrated Klopp, the German said:

“Why should it frustrate me? I’m not the person who should be frustrated by Man United’s style.

“It’s just a fact, when we come here, this year, last year, year before, they just defend. That’s how it is, that’s OK, it’s no criticism, it’s just a fact. It’s not the usual way you think United plays against Liverpool, you would think both teams are trying like this.

“Again, the quality, we are the one team everybody is on their toes when United plays against us. It’s no excuse, we need to do better, we can do better, but you cannot play against each team like this, how they played today.

“We are a good team, and when we play against somebody it is normal for them to say: ‘How can we stop them?’”
