Liverpool FC boss Jurgen Klopp geared up for Manchester United clash by cheering on his local girls' side...  and he was even offered chance to referee

Jurgen Klopp once again showed his charismatic personality by spending Sunday morning watching a local girls team at Formby Junior Sports Club.

The German tactician, whose Liverpool side face arch rivals Manchester United on Monday night, took time out of his preparations for the highly anticipated clash to watch 20 minutes of a youth team game.

Klopp, who took over the reins at Anfield in October 2015, was even asked to referee when the scheduled official failed to show up on time for the grassroots fixture.
