Supporters think they've uncovered what Jurgen Klopp said to his Manchester United counterpart Ole Gunnar Solskjaer following Liverpool's 0-0 draw at Old Trafford, with the German reflecting on the stalemate in the bluntest of manners.
An injury-ravaged first 45 minutes hampered any chances of a memorable encounter between the bitter Premier League rivals as, what is so often the case in these over-hyped clashes, the game failed to live up to its billing. As a matter of fact, there were more forced substitutions than shots on target in the 90 minutes of action.

“Fucking hell what a shit game”

Klopp as he shakes Oles hand.
You said it Jurgen, you said it.
Fucking ‘ell, that was a shit game,’ Klopp said to Solskjaer, and he was right. I’d imagine lots will again conclude Liverpool have ‘bottled it’ because they didn’t win. The cold reality: a draw at Old Trafford which puts them top of the league. https://t.co/nxs9qSJfA3

The former Borussia Dortmund manager has never been one to mince his words, and it is his straight-to-the-point approach that has endeared him amongst the Liverpool faithful, while also, less publicly, among rival supporters too.
The Reds will have their chance to maintain their lead at the top of the Premier League summit when they take on Watford at home on Wednesday night.
