A journalist who once received a dressing down from Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has hit out at Manchester United fans.

After Liverpool’s 4-3 defeat to United on Sunday, courtesy of an Amad Daillo goal in injury time of extra-time, Klopp lost his cool at a reporter from a Scandinavian television network who questioned why his side appeared to lose intensity in extra-time.

VSport1 journalist Niels Christian Frederiksen asked: "Normally intensity is the name of your game, so how come it became so difficult in extra-time?"

In response, Klopp said: "Bit of a dumb question, I have to say. We played I don't know how many games recently, I don't know how many games United exactly played. That's sport.

"Really disappointed about that question, but you thought obviously it's good."

While departing Klopp added: "Oh, ah come on, you are obviously not in a great shape, and I have no nerves for you."

It was an altercation that has led to much criticism directed at Klopp from rival fans on social media.

However, journalist David Lynch, who has himself been on the wrong end of Klopp’s ire after a 0-0 draw to Everton in March 2019, claimed United fans’ criticism of the Liverpool boss was “funny” given the Old Trafford club was once managed by the famously spikey Sir Alex Ferguson.


Writing for ThisIsAnfield Lynch said: “That Klopp possesses this particular trait and yet manages to be, for the most part, so gregarious and warm is a fact that should be celebrated.

“Instead, he faces accusations that ‘the mask has slipped’ from rival fans who have the luxury of not having their most testing professional moments broadcast to millions.

Perhaps the funniest aspect of the entire furore is that these moral failings are being pointed out by a fanbase in thrall to Sir Alex Ferguson, a man whose interactions with journalists could often range from cantankerous to downright vindictive.”
