Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool “suit each other”, says former Man Utd boss Sir Alex Ferguson

Former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson believes that Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp have proven over the last year that they are a perfect match for each other.

Klopp is coming up to 12 months in charge of the Reds having taken over from Brendan Rodgers last October. The German has brought his style to Anfield, which the club's players have clearly bought in to.

The coach's charisma and charismatic style on the touchline has also made the former Borussia Dortmund coach a favourite with supporters on Merseyside and Sir Alex feels all these qualities emphasise how perfect Klopp and Liverpool are for each other.

According to the Liverpool Echo Sir Alex said: "He's bought into the fans.

"And the support have taken to him because he's shown that enthusiasm on the touchline, with his energy and his personality when he's jumping out there.

"I think the combination of both suit each other."

Klopp's run as Liverpool manager so far has seen the club reach two cup finals, only to fall at the final hurdle having lost to Manchester City and Sevilla in the Capital One Cup and the Europa League respectively.

The Reds have won two of their opening league matches this season sit on seven points.
