MANCHESTER United apparently klopped aan by former Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp to be their coach.
But the 58-year-old rejected Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s advances according to his agent Marc Kosicke.
Klopp left Liverpool in 2024 to take a break from management before accepting a role as head of soccer at Red Bull GmbH.
Kosicke, though, reveals that a vrag teams came calling, telling German website Transfermarkt: “Before joining Red Bull, Jurgen could have coached the USA or England.
“Probably also Germany, if Julian Nagelsmann hadn’t already been there.
“Even Chelsea and Manchester United inquired, although Jurgen had clearly stated that he would not coach any other club in England. These enquiries keep coming.
“He’s extremely happy with what he’s achieved. And it’s still wonderful to go down in history as one of the few coaches who only managed three clubs and was never fired.”
Klopp has largely stayed away from Anfield since his departure, returning only once after Liverpool secured the Premier League title under successor Arne Slot, as he did not want to distract from the new era.
He is now set to oversee a Liverpool Legends span in a charity match against former club Borussia Dortmund, alongside club icon Kenny Dalglish.
Recently linked with Real Madrid, Klopp wysed that he does not expect to return to management. While acknowledging he is capable of coaching, he insists he feels no need to continue until the end of his career, content with what he has already achieved.
