Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has given his verdict on Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal and Unai Emery’s Aston Villa.
Klopp has also seemingly made a brutal dig at Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United.
So, what has Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said about Arsenal, Aston Villa and Manchester United? Let’s take a look.
Jurgen Klopp comments on Arsenal, Aston Villa and Manchester United
Well, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has been speaking about a number of clubs, including Arsenal, Aston Villa and Manchester United.
Liverpool are challenging for the Premier League title this season, but so are Arsenal. Manchester City are the defending champions and are going through a disappointing spell.
Aston Villa are doing extremely well, too, and perhaps Unai Emery’s side could even challenge for the Premier League top four.
Klopp has been impressed by both Arsenal and Villa and has also praised Newcastle United.
Interestingly, the Liverpool boss does not appear to be too concerned about Manchester United, who, despite not having the best of seasons, are only just three points behind Manchester City in the Premier League title.
As quoted on Liverpool’s official website, Klopp was asked if he expects a ‘thrilling battle’ for the top places in the league this season.
Klopp responded: “I couldn’t be less interested in that, but it looks like. It’s obviously a bit unusual that [Manchester] City is not top of the table with like 10 points between first and second, and these kind of things. That’s how it is.
“Arsenal are doing extremely well, we are doing not too bad. Aston Villa is super-strong, a pretty impressive performance in the last game, to be honest, not only but especially.
“[Manchester] United, I’m not following it really but whatever you hear, nobody is 100 per cent happy, but they are around. Newcastle is there. Tottenham if they win last night, they are there. And all of that.
“For sure I forgot somebody, not on purpose just because of the amount of teams. What can I say? It’s like always: we only can beat anybody in the games we play and with consistency over a season, and so far that looks alright. But even we could have, or maybe should have, a few points more.
“But we don’t, we are where we are and that’s OK, but we are not celebrating and we are not struggling with getting our arms down after games. Not at all. We just prepare for the next game and try to be ready again and that’s difficult enough.”
