Klopp rues Man City draw

LIVERPOOL manager Jurgen Klopp has suggested that the Manchester United fans will be happiest with his side’s difficult Champions League quarter-final draw against local rivals Manchester City.

City are runaway leaders in the Premier League, with United currently second and Liverpool five points behind them in fourth.

If the Champions League draw hardly delighted Klopp, he suspected City were not too happy either and took a dim view of the likely rescheduling of the Liverpool derby against Everton as a consequence. “I think it is an absolute dream draw – for Manchester United fans,” the German told reporters.
