MATIC’S EURO REDS ALERT

Jurgen: I want my stars to fume at me... it will mean they’re hungry

JURGEN KLOPP wants his players to be angry with him... because it means he will have created a winning mentality.

Have lost in the Champions League play-off for the past three seasons. Beaten by Liverpool when they met in the Europa League in 2012. Fourth in the Bundesliga last season. Beat Ajax, last season’s Europa League runners-up, to get this far.

Emmanuel Adebayor was among the goalscorers as last season’s Turkish league runners-up knocked out Club Brugge to qualify. Draw is at 11am. Matches played 15/16 Aug and 22/23 August. NEMANJA MATIC has warned Europe’s heavyweights that Manchester United are back.

The Serb played his first game for United on Wednesday following a £40million move from Chelsea.

And having been reunited with Jose Mourinho, he is already convinced the Reds are title contenders in England – and a European force once again.

Despite having little or no pre-season at Chelsea, he caught the eye during a first-half run out in a 2-1 win over Sampdoria in Dublin. His holding role in front of the defence should free up Paul Pogba.

“We’ll see this season what we can do but I’m sure we can be one of the favourites for the title,” insisted Matic (right).

With United in the Champions League for the first time in two seasons, Matic believes they can send a message that they can still be one of the continent’s kingpins. “Every game is a new challenge,” he added.
