The German turned down the chance to replace David Moyes at Old Trafford after apparently finding the club's pitch “a bit unsexy”
Manchester United tried to lure Jurgen Klopp away from Borussia Dortmund in 2014 by describing themselves as “an adult version of Disneyland.”
The German was strongly linked with a switch to Old Trafford as the club struggled under David Moyes following Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement.
And according to the upcoming biography on Klopp - Bring the Noise, written by Raphael Honigstein - United's executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward flew to see Klopp just weeks before Moyes' sacking.
