Jurgen Klopp has always wanted to coach in the Premier League, but the club he had always hoped to take over was not Liverpoolbut arch rivals Manchester United, according to the German's predecessor at Mainz and coaching mentor. 


Eckhard Krautzun oversaw a young Klopp as he made the transition from player to coach, happily reminiscing about the times he sent the now-Reds boss on scouting trips to Africa and beyond.


But he also revealed in an interview with The Set Pieces that Klopp had eyes on Old Trafford rather than Anfield back when he was in Germany.


“It would be his dream to go to England one day and his favourite club would be [Manchester] United. That’s what he said,” said Krautzun, recalling a conversation he had once had with the Liverpool manager.
