​Klopp: Liverpool drawing Man Utd in Europa League just what I wanted!

Published on: 26 February 2016

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says facing Manchester United in the last 16 of the Europa League is the ideal tie for him.

The Reds have lost home and away to United in the league this season but Klopp insisted it was the draw he had been hoping for.

He said: "Obviously it is not easy. But you can ask my staff, when they asked me yesterday 'who do you want?' I said 'Manchester United'.

"It's great. We deserve these games, with the game yesterday. I think we have to clear something.

"We had a good game when I was here when we played against them, but we lost 1-0. It was not what we deserved on that day, but we got it.

"Life gives us the chance to make it better and that's what we have to do, and what we'll try.

"In this round, there were no easy games so we had no chance for an easy game. So we have Manchester United - cool."
