Jurgen Klopp does not agree that Liverpool's rivalry with Manchester United is any bigger or more important than it is with the other top teams, ahead of their FA Cup quarter-final clash at Old Trafford.
Klopp saw Sir Alex Ferguson celebrating his success as a horse-racing owner at Cheltenham last week, but the days when the Scot towered over this fixture and United's dominance in general are long gone.
United and Liverpool have 67 trophies each, with Klopp clawing back the advantage.
'I know the famous phrase with the perch but I had other things to think about than Manchester United when I came,' he said, referring to Ferguson's pledge to knock Liverpool off theirs.
