Klopp describes Liverpool win over Man Utd as insane
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has described his side’s victory vs Man Utd during the weekend as insane.
This comes as Liverpool, who made a short trip to Old Trafford on Sunday, went on defeat the Red Devils with a 5-0 scoreline.
Liverpool had an impressive performance, with Mohamed Salah scoring three goals while Naby Keita and Diogo Jota scored a goal each, giving the Reds all three points.
Klopp, in a post-match statement, disclosed he never expected such performance from his side.
“What we did in the last third was insane. Pressing high, winning balls, scored wonderful goals. I told them at half-time to play better. We started incredibly well and stopped playing football. We controlled the game after the fifth; it was not about scoring more, just trying to get out without more injuries,” Klopp told Sky Sports.
“The result is insane; I asked if there was one like this in history, and if there isn’t, then it will take a while. The players put a nice piece in the book. It is special, but we don’t celebrate like crazy; we have respect for the opponents. We were lucky in some moments; United are not in their best moment,” he added.
Liverpool are seated at the second spot with one point away from League leaders, Chelsea.
