Klopp billed as ‘the new Alex Ferguson’ by former striker who worked with Scot at Man Utd

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is “very much like the new Sir Alex Ferguson”, says former Manchester United striker Dion Dubin, who worked under a legendary Scot at Old Trafford.

Having been appointed to bring the good times back to the Theatre of Dreams, Ferguson would go on to oversee an era of unprecedented success in English football.

He guided United to 13 Premier League titles and two Champions League crowns before slipping into retirement back in 2013.
