Jurgen Klopp has aimed a fresh dig at Manchester United and has also slammed his own club’s fans following Wednesday’s win over West Ham.
Liverpool boss Klopp made the remarks following his team’s dominant 5-1 Carabao Cup quarter-final victory over West Ham at Anfield.
Curtis Jones, Dominik Szoboszlai, Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah produced the goals as Liverpool put in an impressive performance ahead of Saturday’s Premier League showdown with Arsenal.
Speaking after the match, Klopp made reference to Sunday’s 0-0 draw against rivals United, aiming a dig at them for their defensive approach, as he said: ‘Things clicked tonight when they didn’t on Sunday.
‘I am not sure I am allowed to talk about what Man Utd did but they defended deeply.’
There has been much said about the 0-0 draw with Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk and United legend Roy Keane in an argument over the Dutch defender’s comments after he claimed the Red Devils were ‘buzzing with a point’ and insisting that ‘only one team came to win’.
Meanwhile, Klopp bizarrely slammed his own fans following the 5-1 win over West Ham and was left unhappy over the atmosphere at Anfield.

‘I was not overly happy with the atmosphere behind me,’ Klopp added. ‘I wondered what they wanted.
‘We need Anfield on their toes without me being in argument with their coach or whatever.
‘If you’re not in the right shape, give your ticket to someone else.’
