As reported by the British media, Jürgen Klopp may have in the past joined Manchester United. However, his wife objected.
The Liverpool manager was associated with Borussia Dortmund between 2008 and 2015. With the team from the Ruhr region he won two German championship titles and also played in the Champions League final. Manchester United authorities became interested in the then BVB coach in 2013. The club from Old Trafford was then looking for a successor to Sir Alex Ferguson.
Phil Thompson, Liverpool legend, told the story. “I interviewed him for Sky. I asked if he and Liverpool were made for each other. “Why? he replied. Then Klopp told me he could take over Manchester United, but his wife Ulla told him not to. When an offer from Liverpool appeared, she said it was a good choice. There is something mysterious in this. It looks like he really is created for this club, “Thompson said.
In the end, Red Devils activists hired David Moyes, and Klopp came to Anfield two years later.
Last season, Germany triumphed with “The Reds” in the Champions League, and won the England championship with them a few days ago.
