Liverpool Will Decide How Loud Old Trafford Atmosphere Would Be- Jurgen Klopp

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp insists his side's performance will decide how much of an impact the Old Trafford crowd will have on Thursday. The Anfield crowd roared their side to victory in last week's first leg win, but Klopp insists his team can silence the United fans by turning in a good performance.

He said “I like it. The atmosphere is loud too when all the people hate you. I don't understand what the crowd is singing, so it's easy for me, In Liverpool, it was different. If we had played poorly, I'm sure it would have not been too easy, the same atmosphere. We will decide how good the atmosphere is on Thursday with our performance. We want to do our best and mean that it's difficult to enjoy the game for Man United”.

It will be Klopp's first game in charge of the Reds at Old Trafford since taking over from Brendan Rodgers in October, and no Liverpool manager has won their first game at Manchester United since George Kay back in 1936 but Klopp says he is not thinking about that, and is looking forward to the challenge.

Despite just 35 miles separating Liverpool from Manchester, Klopp's men have travelled through a day early in order to train at Old Trafford ahead of the game, with Klopp insisting the importance of treating it like a normal European game. He said “I didn't think one second about it - we come one day early, it’s a Europa League game, it's always like this. Only the trip was different - normally we fly. That's the only difference. It's a normal European game. I enjoy to breathe the stadium the night before the game. There was no way we weren't going to take the opportunity to train here”
