Jürgen Klopp has already made his feelings clear on potentially managing Manchester United.

Klopp, 57, has been without a managerial role since he left Liverpool at the end of the 2023/24 campaign.

The German cited that he didn’t feel like he had the energy to continue in the role, although he later undertook a job as Head of Global Soccer at Red Bull.

In March, Klopp issued an update on whether he wants to return to coaching.

"The last thing I am thinking about actually is to be a manager again," the German manager revealed when he attended the 10-year anniversary of Hout Bay United Football Community (HBUFC) [quotes via Kick Off].

"I coached 1,081 games. I lost absolutely each final available. Some of them I won as well.

"And, no, I'm in a happy place.

"If I wasn't the manager of Liverpool FC, I wouldn't be here today. So thank God."

However, despite Klopp’s firm stance, former Arsenal defender turned pundit Martin Keown has suggested that the German would do an “incredible” job if he were to replace Ruben Amorim as head coach of Man Utd.

"The number of games they've lost, I'm still concerned that this is maybe not the right manager for Manchester United," Keown said on talkSPORT on Monday.

"It's going to be a very interesting start to the season, they could do a lot worse than to go and get Jurgen Klopp to manage their football club.

"I'm not trying to sensationalise, I believe he might do an incredible job there. They need somebody with more experience than the current manager.

"Why not? He's done it once before. We're comparing their journey now. He's done it once before."

So what has Klopp said previously about managing Man United?

Speaking in January 2024, Klopp said: "If you ask me, ‘Will you ever work as a manager again?’ I would say now no. But I don’t know obviously how that will feel because I never had the situation.

"What I know definitely – I will never, ever manage a different club in England than Liverpool, 100 per cent. That’s not possible. My love for this club, my respect for the people is too big. I couldn’t. I couldn’t for a second think about it. There’s no chance. This is part of my life, we are part of the family, we feel home here. There’s no chance to do that. But all the rest, will I ever work again? Of course, I know myself, I cannot just sit around.

"I will find something else maybe to do. But I will not manage a club or a country at least for a year, that’s not possible, I cannot do that and I don’t want to. That’s all. It’s such a strange situation because I have to explain that "I don’t have energy anymore, but now I’m sitting here and I have energy and I’m buzzing for everything that’s happening here."

So it's safe to say he won't be in the dugout at Old Trafford any time soon.
