Manchester United manager, Jose Mourinho, wants his players to stop spurning chances after they needed an 84th-minute equalizer from Zlatan Ibrahimovic to rescue a 1-1 draw against Liverpool.

 

Only seven of United’s 32 Premier League goals this season have been scored in the first 35 minutes and Mourinho wants his team to stop letting their opponents off the hook.

 

United, who had won their previous nine matches in all competitions, remain sixth, four points off the top four.

 

On the flipside, Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp believes his team dominated play and deserved more from the game.

 

A James Milner penalty handed the visitors the lead in the 27th minute after Paul Pogba handled the ball in the box.

 

After the game, Klopp was quick to praise the performance of his Liverpool side but admitted that while a draw was satisfactory, the performance merited more.

Jurgen Klopp was unveiled as Liverpool’s new manager on Friday, succeeding Brendan Rodgers who was sacked last week.

 

The former Borussia Dortmund Manager, Jurgen Klopp signed a three-year deal with Liverpool FC at the city’s Hope Street hotel in the company of the chairman, Tom Werner, and chief executive, Ian Ayre, on Thursday night shortly after arriving at John Lennon airport in a private plane from Dortmund.

 

The final details of his deal had been agreed between club officials and representatives of the 48-year-old in Germany prior to his departure, and he was unveiled at a 10am press conference at Anfield on Friday.

48-year-old Klopp is expected to earn £5m per annum, rising to £7m dependent on bonuses for a Premier League title or Champions League qualification and will also be bringing Zeljko Buvac and Peter Krawietz, who were his assistants at Dortmund, with him for his new job at Anfield.

 

 

 

“Liverpool football club are delighted to announce Jürgen Klopp has been appointed as the club’s new manager,” said a statement. “The German coach has signed a deal to take the helm at the Reds and will be presented at a press conference at Anfield on Friday morning.”

 

 

 

Klopp replaces Brendan Rodgers, who was sacked after Liverpool’s 1-1 draw with Everton in the Merseyside Derby at Goodison Park. The new Liverpool Manager had been without a job for five months after taking a sabbatical leave immediately he ended his seven-year association with Borussia Dortmund in May.

Official talks between Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp will take place this week with the club confident of appointing a new manager ahead of their next fixture away at Tottenham on October 17.

Jurgen Klopp is Liverpool’s number one choice of replacement for Brendan Rodgers, who was sacked on Sunday.

Klopp won two Bundesliga titles during seven years with Borussia Dortmund and is considered by Liverpool owner Fenway Sports Group as an ideal fit to take over at Anfield.

The club sounded out the 48-year-old over the summer but kept faith with Rodgers after being told that Klopp was not yet ready for a new job after leaving Dortmund at the end of last season.

Now Klopp is ready to return to management and is attracted by the prospect of fulfilling his ambition to manage in the Premier League at a historic club like Liverpool.
