      JURGEN KLOPP was genuinely surprised to hear it, on the January day when he announced his intention to quit Liverpool at the end of the season.
      It was put to him that Sir Alex Ferguson had told his Manchester United players in the summer of 2001 that the coming season would be his last.
      Ferguson later performed a U-turn and stayed at Old Trafford for another 11 years.
      But the great Scot admitted that revealing his intentions had been the ‘biggest mistake I made’.
      “I think a lot of them put their tools away,” said Ferguson, “They thought, ‘Oh, the manager’s leaving’.”
      It was a part of English footballing history which Klopp knew nothing about and he raised his eyebrows when he was told about it.
      Liverpool were top of the Premier League, having lost only a single domestic match all season – and that a controversial VAR-infested affair at Tottenham.
      But their form has nosedived since, with dreams of a farewell quadruple long gone.
      And Klopp may well now be reflecting on the wisdom of his announcement.

      Yorke told Crypto Casino LTD: “If Jeremie Frimpong is a bit fragile defensively, then he’ll be bought for a certain system by the manager.“Nowadays, fullbacks play much higher up the pitch and can play in all types of systems, but I don’t know how Erik ten Hag wants to play.“Man United already have a good right back in Aaron Wan-Bissaka, but you can say he’s the opposite of Frimpong, great defensively but not that great going forward. “When we attack, we should be letting Wan Bissaka sit back and offer more defensive protection, handling the one v one on the wing. But instead, he’s told to bomb up the wing and try to take on a player, which he can’t do.“Erik ten Hag should take away Wan-Bissaka’s attacking duties and make him defend, then they can have some solidarity in the defence.“Instead, Wan-Bissaka, who doesn’t score or create, run around like a headless chicken in the opposition box, running in his teammates’ way.Yorke added:  “It’s not rocket science, watching this unfold is crazy.“The one thing you need in the defence is to be able to defend one v one. Just let him f***ing defend.”Wan-Bissaka was signed from Crystal Palace for £50m in 2019 and he made the highest number of tackles in the Premier League during his first season but his form has been up and down since.READ MORE SUN STORIESHe struggled with illness and injuries last term and that has seen Diogo Dalot overtake him in the pecking.He’s played 24 times this term but Inter Milan have been eyeing a cut-price £13m swoop with the full-back only having a year left on his deal.Pundits verdict on Ten Hag’s futureWhere do the pundits stand on Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United future

      Man Utd ‘willing to axe up to ELEVEN players this summer including Rashford and Maguire in massive transfer overhaul’

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED could make as many as 11 players available this summer as Sir Jim Ratcliffe looks to transform the club.And both Marcus Rashford and Harry Maguire could allegedly be part of the exodus.Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s arrival could see 12 players depart Man Utd this summerCredit: PAA report states that Harry Maguire and Marcus Rashford could both be soldCredit: PAErik ten Hag’s side narrowly avoided disaster to beat Coventry on penalties and set-up a showdown with Man City in the FA Cup final on Sunday.But they did not avoid embarrassment after blowing a three goal lead against the Championship outfit.They then trailed twice to bottom club Sheffield United before scraping a 4-2 win at Old Trafford in the Premier League on Wednesday as pressure still mounts on Ten Hag over his future.Those performances and the poor displays this term have highlighted the need for a huge squad overhaul after a number of changes off the pitch.READ MORE ON MAN UTDRatcliffe, the 71-year-old billionaire, has taken over football operations at United since buying a 25 per cent stake in the club.He confirmed the appointment of Jason Wilcox as technical director this month from Southampton in their latest change.His arrival comes after Man Utd revealed ex-Man City man Omar Berrada as their new chief executive and talks are ongoing about Newcastle’s Dan Ashworth, who is on gardening leave,

has endured an underwhelming three seasons at Old Trafford that have been blighted by injuries.He will leave as a free transfer once his deal expires in June, freeing up more than £300,000 a week from the wage bill.Victor LindelofThe versatile Swede was signed by Jose Mourinho in 2017.Has looked shaky numerous times for United but his contract was extended for another year in January to avoid losing him for nothing.Harry MaguireCost a mega £85m from Leicester City in 2019 and went on to become skipper.A dramatic loss of form led to him being stripped of the armband by Erik ten Hag but he

been a regular starter and has often struggled to impress off the bench.The ex-Tottenham ace, 32, still has another year to run on his contract.Marcus RashfordThis report states the academy graduate “will be sold for the right price” after he failed to replicate last season’s incredible form this term.The only issue regarding getting him off the books could be wages.The England ace, 26, became one of United’s top earners after penning a £325k-a-week contract until 2028 last summer.AntonyThe £85m winger was one of Ten Hag’s first signings from his former club Ajax.But after a bright start, he has failed to live up to that price tag and has only recorded one assist in the Premier League this season.Now United are “ready to cut their losses” on the 24-year-old Brazilian.Jadon SanchoAfter years of trying to get him, United finally landed Sancho for £73m in 2021.The England winger only had brief high points before Ten Hag sent him to Holland for extra training last season after he had missed out on the World Cup.He was exiled and sent out to Borussia Dortmund on loan after his explosive fall-out with the boss in January.Sancho, who is under contract until 2026, has found his form

joined United in a £44.5m deal from Monaco in 2015. In the last four injury-hit seasons he has hit just 12 Prem goals in 93 games and become surplus to requirements.His contract finally expires in June and there is no chance that United will look to extend the 28-year-old’s stay.Several more players could be sold while Ratcliffe has already called for “patience” with regards to his rebuild.But the report states that they “realistically” are hoping to bring in six new additions to the squad before the start of next season.READ MORE SUN STORIESEverton defender Jarrad Branthwaite and Bayer

Everyone is really fond of him.”Slot snubbed Spurs, hates defending and has a PASS named after himBy Dan King
      LIVERPOOL managerial target Arne Slot was a good enough player to have a type of pass named after him.
      But it is as a manager that the Feyenoord head coach is really making his mark.
      Like another bald Dutchman, Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag, Slot earned his stripes bossing smaller sides before being given a chance at one of the Netherlands’ big three.
      But the question Liverpool are pondering is whether Slot would make a better fist of running one of the biggest clubs in the world than Ten Hag so far has at Old Trafford.
      Slot, 45, was certainly easier on the eye as a player than centre back Ten Hag.
      “The Arne Slot Ball” was something he perfected as a silky No 10 – a back-to-goal, first-time, 180-degree spin and flick behind the defensive line for a winger to run on to deep in the opposition half.
