Zlatan Ibrahimovic's link to Man United prevented Liverpool move - Klopp

Jurgen Klopp has said Liverpool might have tried to sign Zlatan Ibrahimovic if it were not for the striker's history with Premier League rivals Manchester United.

Ibrahimovic announced this week he was parting ways with MLS side LA Galaxy, whom he joined in 2018 after a two-year spell at United.

"If he hadn't played for Manchester United, then we might have considered him," Klopp told Swedish publication Sportbladet.

"But I'm not even sure he would have wanted to play here -- we're a pretty intense team," the Liverpool coach laughed.
