Klopp: The individual quality of United up front is ridiculous

Added at:

Jürgen Klopp previewed Monday's Premier League clash with Manchester United.

- When we had the two results last year, I knew already in that moment it would not help for next year, that's always like this. I couldn't be less interested in the results from last year – they were different games, different situations. It just helps United, probably, a little bit to be even more motivated, if that's possible, in the situation we are in. No, this is a completely different game obviously in a different situation but that's it.

I would prefer to play them after they won 5-0, definitely. That's how it is. But it's not dreamland, so we have to take it like it is. We drew two games, so is it better to play us in a situation like this, or is it worse? I don't know. It's just the situation and in the end, there's a start in the game but then 89 minutes are still to go, so you have to deal with all the situations in the game and in this moment obviously nobody knows exactly what will happen around the game, we don't know. I think the whole world will watch it, it's Monday night anyway, everybody can watch it, and you will see how these two heavyweights deal with the situation. I would watch it, I will watch it.

The individual quality of United up front is ridiculous. [I] heard Martial can play probably, now trained again and can play. He played against us obviously a really good game, so another boy with technique and speed. Football quality in midfield, whoever lines up he will have Eriksen, Fernandes, Donny van de Beek, Fred... and McTominay.

There's real quality there and then it's just about how we deal with that. But again, these one, two games they played in the league, I saw them both and now we have to try to figure out if he will change and what he will change. We go from there. If we have no idea then we just have to learn it in the game.
