Klopp was interacting with fans at a public event when he realised one young boy was a Manchester United supporter. The German could be heard consoling the child by saying: “You’ve been watching sh*t football for six years. Wow, I’m really sorry.” His remark sparked laughter among the crowd and has since spread widely online.
Manchester United‘s struggles make Klopp’s joke sting all the more, with Ruben Amorim’s side enduring a nightmare start to the season. Just one win in their opening four matches has left them languishing near the bottom of the Premier League. To make matters worse, they were also dumped out of the Carabao Cup by League Two side Grimsby Town.
Manchester United face Chelsea at Old Trafford this weekend in what already feels like a crucial fixture. Amorim remains under pressure as his 3-4-3 system continues to divide opinion. Meanwhile, Klopp is enjoying life away from the dugout after leaving Liverpool in 2024, watching his old side go on to lift last season’s Premier League title.
