Klopp > Mourinho According to Danny Mills
Klopp vs Mourinho
Saturday looks far away for many as analysts get ready for the early Premier League showdown between Manchester United and Liverpool. This is the biggest game in England because of the history of both clubs who have won the most Premier League titles among the rest. Danny Mills, a former Manchester City player, made a pick on who his preferred coach is between Jose Mourinho and Jurgen Klopp who represent Manchester United and Liverpool respectively. His pick was Mourinho because he believes the Portuguese manager has something special that Klopp is yet to achieve. He always backs his players, is tactically astute, and has won a lot of domestic titles and the UEFA Champions League twice with different teams among other things. Klopp, however, has only had success at Dortmund before coming to Liverpool and has a history of losing cup finals. He is still yet to deliver silverware to Anfield.
These views are also shared by current German prodigy Timo Werner who hinted that he would prefer to move to United as opposed to Liverpool. The 22-year-old dreams of playing in the England with some of the best players in the world and is quoted to having said, “I am more Manchester United than Liverpool.” Could it be that the young forward believes that Mourinho is the coach to take him to the next level when he decides to leave German side RB Leipzig? Whilst we wait for that to happen, let us brace ourselves for the biggest match in England which has a lot of traction.
