Jurgen Klopp Says He Is 'Not Prepared' For Question About Manchester United's Manager Situation In Press Conference

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was not prepared to answer a question regarding the current managerial situation at Manchester United during a pre-match press conference.

It was announced on Sunday morning that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had been relieved of his duties at Old Trafford following a poor run of form that ended with an abysmal 4-1 defeat against Watford.

Since that news emerged, a number of candidates have been linked with one of the biggest jobs in world football, including Zinedine Zidane, Luis Enrique and Paris Saint-Germain manager Mauricio Pochettino.

In fact, the latter was mentioned during Klopp's press conference on Tuesday ahead of Liverpool's Champions League clash against Porto tomorrow night.

As you can see in the footage above, the German was asked a lengthy question about the pressures on managing a big club, as well as Pochettino being linked to the United job.

"What do I have to do with PSG or Manchester United?' Klopp replied. "Sorry, I'm really not prepared for that question."

He then added: "I didn't think about Manchester United for a second and I didn't think about what impact the manager has, should have or whatever.

"It's six years since I had to think about these kind of things, sorry. It was a long question and I don't have an answer for that."

Thoughts on Klopp's response to the question?

Let us know in the comments.
