Jurgen Klopp Talks Liverpool Appeal, Turning Down Other Clubs

Jurgen Klopp has said he decided to join Liverpool ahead of Manchester United and others because the club prioritised football above all else and had a family atmosphere despite their size.

The Reds manager spoke to club legend Robbie Fowler (theMirror's David Maddock), who asked why the German picked Liverpool amid United's reported interest in him.

Klopp said he is a "football romantic" who loved the history of the club, and he pointed to the welcoming atmosphere at Anfield:

"A little thing. Liverpool is a world class brand, big, big, big, but in Melwood, you know it Robbie, it is still a family, nothing else, and you can go in and feel that.
