Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp and former Manchester United captain Roy Keane joked around pitch-side at Old Trafford in the build-up to Monday evening’s Premier League clash.

Keane and Klopp previously clashed in 2020 when Keane – now working as a Sky Sports pundit –  labelled Liverpool as sloppy following their victory over Arsenal.

The Liverpool boss was interviewed by Sky at Old Trafford in the build-up to the 8pm kick off, when Keane jokingly asked whether Liverpool had been sloppy this season.

Klopp took the suggestion in jest, laughing and replied by saying:

‘I would love to say [our start to the season] is just because we have been sloppy.’

Klopp’s star-studded Liverpool side have endured a miserable start to the new Premier League season, drawing their opening game against Fulham and picking up another solitary point against Crystal Palace.
