Jose Mourinho's side come into the game down in seventh place in the table, three points behind Liverpool, having been held by Stoke last time out. But Klopp has defended Mourinho's recent record at the club insisting criticism of the Portuguese is completely unjustified.
"It's bulls***. No, but rubbish. Who says this? He has started badly at United?" he told reporters. "They won their first [three] games. So now you are giving B grades for winning? Its not possible."
The Reds boss is preparing to face the Portuguese but feels he has been harshly judged in the opening weeks of the season and is expecting a tough game on Monday night.
Also Manchester United manager has add his voice to the tension around the Monday Night Football between his side and Liverpool, he said,
"I'm in England for a long time. Obviously I never played this match but I played many times against Liverpool, United. I understand the dimension of the clubs and now I understand better the history between the rivals. The season for me is not abo Anfield match though, or Old Trafford in January. It's about many matches."
Meanwhile new Liverpool recruit Sadio Mané has stated Liverpool will defeat Manchester United today. When asked how he fancied Liverpool's chances on Monday nigh, he didn't beat around the bush he said, "We are going to beat Manchester United."
The reporter didn't even believe him and had
to ask if he was sure about that.
"Of course. We all believe it. We are going to
make it."
"Maybe this will be the biggest game I have played in. My games for Senegal will have been the biggest so far. For my club, I think my biggest was my debut for
Southampton against Arsenal. We won and I scored. I was under big pressure so for me that was amazing."
Now this will be one of the most important. Everyone
would like to score in a game like this. It's normal the fans and people will think this is a particular type of game. We know it's one of the big games of the season. It might be like El Clásico but, really, when the games starts and you get on to the pitch, then you do have to treat it more like a normal game."
