Klopp’s post match interview after 2-2 draw against Manchester United at Old Trafford:
“Arsenal is a good football team and if [United] play like they did today, Arsenal will win that game, I’m 100 per cent sure. I’m really sorry to say that but this is a matter of fact.
“We should’ve won both games [in the league and FA Cup vs United] and didn’t. That’s our fault. In all the time I’ve been here, we never dominated United like we did in these two games – but we didn’t win them.
