Henderson and Milner were totally average before Klopp arrived at Liverpool, says Rangnick

The influential former RB Leipzig and Schalke boss thinks the transformation of some of the Reds' key players is purely down to their manager

Former RB Leipzig manager Ralf Rangnick has hailed Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp’s ability to transform ‘average’ players into world-beaters – with Jordan Henderson and James Milner the prime examples.

He also pointed to the change in attitude of attacking trio Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino, stating that their success as a unit is purely down to Klopp’s influence.

Rangnick, 61, helped Leipzig to promotion to the Bundesliga in 2016 and is now Head of Sport and Soccer Development for all the clubs in the Red Bull Group.
