Klopp ‘perfect man’ to lead the Reds, insists former Liverpool chief

According to former Liverpool chief executive Christian Purslow, manager Jurgen Klopp is under no pressure whatsoever and is the ideal man to take the club forward.

Liverpool will face Manchester United at Anfield in the Premier League on Saturday. United are level on points with Manchester City at the top of the league table. A defeat against the Mancunians would set Klopp’s side 10 points adrift of their bitter rivals after just eight games into the new season.

Klopp had to endure a barrage of criticism recently after recording just one win in the last seven games.
