REVEALED: WHY JURGEN KLOPP SAID NO TO MANCHESTER UNITED JOB OPPORTUNITY
Jurgen Klopp reveals he turned down the Manchester United manager job in 2013. The German was unimpressed with their "theme park" project, preferring a pure football challenge, which he later found at Liverpool.

The German confirmed that he held talks over the Old Trafford post back in 2013, when he was thriving at Borussia Dortmund after winning two Bundesliga titles and reaching the Champions League final, and when United were looking for a replacement for the retiring Sir Alex Ferguson.
Klopp claimed that he was one of several possible applicants for the position, but he declined the offer after being completely dissatisfied with the idea, especially with regard to the club's transfer ambitions.
As Ferguson's own intended replacement, United ultimately chose Everton mainstay David Moyes; nevertheless, he was fired after just ten months and replaced by interim manager Ryan Giggs.
Following interim stints for Ralf Rangnick, Ruud van Nistelrooy, and Michael Carrick, they later hired Louis van Gaal. Prior to Ruben Amorim's appointment last year, Jose Mourinho, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, and Erik ten Hag had all assumed permanent leadership at Old Trafford.
Klopp, on the other hand, remained at Dortmund for two more seasons before departing in 2015 to join Liverpool as a replacement for the fired Brendan Rodgers. He became a legendary figure at Anfield during a ten-year period during which he brought the team back to prominence, winning the FIFA Club World Cup, UEFA Super Cup, Community Shield, the Champions League, FA Cup, and two League Cups in addition to their first Premier League title.
During his recent interview on The Diary Of A CEO Podcast, Klopp was asked if he had ever received a call from United. He said, "Yeah, I spoke to them," to host Steven Bartlett. They talked to me the year Sir Alex retired. Yes, they were interested at one point, of course.
I would have been intrigued at the time. I had a fantastic squad at Dortmund when I was younger. They must have wondered, "What is he doing there?"
Klopp went on to respond, "They tried," when asked why United did not pursue him. For me, it was the wrong moment at the wrong time. I would not have left Dortmund for anyone at that time since I had a contract there. They just needed a management, but I believe that the manager they want was one of several possibilities.
He said, "Yeah, that way," when asked if he had rejected United instead of the other way around.
Klopp responded, "It is tough, we are not presently in a private place," when asked why he had not accepted the position. There are a few explanations. I did not enjoy what some of the people in that chat said to me.
Because United was so large, we were able to acquire any player we desired. We are able to obtain him, secure him, secure him. It was not my project, and I was sitting there.
Not only was it not my project, but it was also the incorrect moment. I do not know, I did not want to bring [Paul] Pogba back. My God, Paul is a terrific player, but these things do not typically work.
Or Cristiano, my god, we all know that he is the world's best player together with Lionel Messi. But it never helps to bring back.
"It was clearly not about Cristiano at the time, in 2013, and I am not sure whether it was about Paul either. However, the objective was just to gather the top players and then let them go.
"It had nothing to do with the football. That is not for me, I said. Liverpool is the next product of the pure football project.
DISCIPLINARY BLOW: MADRID PLAYER SUSPENDED POST EL CLáSICO TUSSLE
Real Madrid's backup keeper Andriy Lunin has been handed a one-game suspension by the RFEF for his aggressive conduct on the bench during the heated final moments of El Clásico. Real Madrid's appeal was rejected.

Los Blancos' goalie Andriy Lunin has been suspended for one game by the RFEF Disciplinary Committee for his involvement in the sideline dramas during the El Clásico's final moments. Although the cameras did not catch it, referee Soto Grado did record that he had sent the Ukrainian off.
According to Mundo Deportivo, the RFEF responded as follows when asked why Lunin received a red card.
The reason for Lunin, Andrii's expulsion in the 90th minute was that he had to be restrained by his teammates after he walked aggressively from his bench to the blonde bench.
The disciplinary committee of the RFEF
"When considered significant, those whose behaviour violates sporting order will be suspended for four to ten games or fined between 602 and 3,006 euros."
Because of Lunin's actions, which constituted a minor violation of the sporting order, he was suspended for one game. The ruling had been challenged by Real Madrid. However, the RFEF stayed steadfast, defending the referee's ruling and the evidence in the match report and on film.
Now, the backup goalie will not play against Valencia this weekend, where he is probably going to be benched. Fran Gonzalez and Sunico, both from the youth team, might be called up as the matchday squad's third choice, with Sergio Mestre serving as a backup.
No Barcelona players or any other Real Madrid players were slapped with bans following the two flash moments in the closing stages of the game. When Vinicius Jr. and Lamie Yamal argued, even players who were not on the team were spotted shoving on the side of the field. The RFEF, however, determined that nothing that came to pass would justify further prohibitions.

According to Bukayo Saka, it is feasible for Arsenal and England to win both games this season. The season has started well for the Gunners under Mikel Arteta's leadership.
Arsenal leads the Premier League standings by four points at the moment and is starting to look like a title contender. Manchester City is only one point ahead of defending champions Liverpool, who are seven points behind.
Saka, however, is not only interested in winning at his club; he also hopes to succeed internationally. Manager Thomas Tuchel has stated that winning the trophy is his ambition for England, who have qualified for the World Cup in the USA next year.
Saka is optimistic about his club's and his nation's chances of winning. "Yeah, that is my prayer," he remarked in an interview with Sky Sports. It is possible, of course.
