Speaking in a recent interview, Thompson suggested Klopp was contacted for the coaching spot at United, following Sir Alex Ferguson’s unexpected retirement, but the German turned down the offer because his wife didn’t think it was right.https://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/ads?client=ca-pub-5720916794821952&output=html&h=343&slotname=9684250924&adk=3824863290&adf=1295841445&w=412&lmt=1593334330&rafmt=1&psa=1&guci=2.2.0.0.2.2.0.0&format=412×343&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.themanunitedfans.com%2F2020%2F06%2F27%2Frevealed-how-jurgen-klopp-almost-joined-manchester-united%2F&flash=0&fwr=1&fwrattr=true&rpe=1&resp_fmts=3&sfro=1&wgl=1&adsid=NT&dt=1593334329976&bpp=15&bdt=1505&idt=642&shv=r20200610&cbv=r20190131&ptt=9&saldr=aa&abxe=1&cookie=ID%3D80011987638e22e3%3AT%3D1593333946%3AS%3DALNI_Ma-RTGvnqEoD6QU4W0N7IieXTdKRQ&crv=1&prev_fmts=0x0%2C412x343%2C412x343%2C412x343&nras=1&correlator=686544698465&frm=20&pv=1&ga_vid=1250637226.1593333858&ga_sid=1593334330&ga_hid=1523540988&ga_fc=0&iag=0&icsg=632831389400892&dssz=46&mdo=0&mso=0&u_tz=60&u_his=1&u_java=0&u_h=892&u_w=412&u_ah=892&u_aw=412&u_cd=24&u_nplug=0&u_nmime=0&adx=0&ady=2453&biw=412&bih=755&scr_x=0&scr_y=0&oid=3&pvsid=165731349668502&pem=856&rx=0&eae=0&fc=1924&brdim=0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C412%2C0%2C412%2C755%2C412%2C755&vis=1&rsz=%7C%7CleEbr%7C&abl=CS&pfx=0&fu=8336&bc=31&ifi=4&uci=a!4&btvi=3&fsb=1&xpc=9o64qilqzA&p=https%3A//www.themanunitedfans.com&dtd=667
He told TV2 in Norway: “I interviewed Klopp for Sky, and I asked if he and Liverpool were created for each other. He looked at me and asked ‘Why?’
“Then Klopp told me he could have taken over Manchester United, but his wife said it wasn’t right.
“When Liverpool arrived, his wife said it was right. There is something strange there. It is as if he’s created for Liverpool.”
Well, perhaps it wasn’t meant to be, but the revelation definitely does make one wonder what could have been had Klopp agreed to come to Old Trafford.https://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/ads?client=ca-pub-5720916794821952&output=html&h=343&slotname=9684250924&adk=3824863290&adf=946533259&w=412&ebfa=1&lmt=1593334330&rafmt=1&psa=1&guci=2.2.0.0.2.2.0.0&format=412×343&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.themanunitedfans.com%2F2020%2F06%2F27%2Frevealed-how-jurgen-klopp-almost-joined-manchester-united%2F&flash=0&fwr=1&fwrattr=true&rpe=1&resp_fmts=3&sfro=1&wgl=1&adsid=NT&dt=1593334329992&bpp=14&bdt=1520&idt=815&shv=r20200610&cbv=r20190131&ptt=9&saldr=aa&abxe=1&cookie=ID%3D80011987638e22e3%3AT%3D1593333946%3AS%3DALNI_Ma-RTGvnqEoD6QU4W0N7IieXTdKRQ&crv=1&prev_fmts=0x0%2C412x343%2C412x343%2C412x343%2C412x343&nras=1&correlator=686544698465&frm=20&pv=1&ga_vid=1250637226.1593333858&ga_sid=1593334330&ga_hid=1523540988&ga_fc=0&iag=0&icsg=2531325557603570&dssz=47&mdo=0&mso=0&u_tz=60&u_his=1&u_java=0&u_h=892&u_w=412&u_ah=892&u_aw=412&u_cd=24&u_nplug=0&u_nmime=0&adx=0&ady=3593&biw=412&bih=755&scr_x=0&scr_y=0&oid=3&pvsid=165731349668502&pem=856&rx=0&eae=0&fc=1924&brdim=0%2C0%2C0%2C0%2C412%2C0%2C412%2C755%2C412%2C755&vis=1&rsz=%7C%7CleEbr%7C&abl=CS&pfx=0&fu=8336&bc=31&ifi=5&uci=a!5&btvi=4&fsb=1&xpc=qIMej7ZO8W&p=https%3A//www.themanunitedfans.com&dtd=837
But we do have Olé Gunnar Solskjaer now, who’s doing a good job, and may well be on his way to handing us our first Premier League title since 2013 if he continues to do the good work he’s doing.
