Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has heaped the praise on his opposite number this weekend, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and claimed ‘there is no doubt he will be the manager next year as well.’ Solskjaer has made an almost perfect start to life as Manchester United manager, with only PSG getting the better of them since he joined in December.
In recent weeks United have beaten Arsenal, Spurs and Chelsea in the Premier League and FA Cup, asserting themselves as one of the dominant teams in English football once again. Klopp was full of adoration for Solskjaer ahead of the meeting this Sunday.
“It must be one of the best records ever, mustn’t it?
“I’m really happy for him. It’s not the best news for us but for all Manchester United fans it's brilliant.
“They’ve brought in all the things Sir Alex Ferguson stood for with all the new things in football.
“That makes them a threat again. They are really back on track. Good for them.”
United are looking incredibly dangerous at the present moment and could welcome back Anthony Martial and Jesse Lingard this weekend after their injuries. The German compared his experience at Mainz to Solskjaer’s current jump to United from Molde.
“We all needed luck in our managerial careers.
“When I went from Mainz to Dortmund people said I had no international experience. It was true.
“Normally you would not make a move from Norway to Manchester United. That is clear. But he’s shown his qualities.
“He has the quality and the luck in the right moment. Now he’s in charge and there is no doubt he will be the manager next year as well. That is clear.
“Can you imagine if they brought in a new manager? He deserves that 100%”
