Jurgen Klopp: What I think about facing Manchester United in the Europa League
JURGEN KLOPP claims he wanted Liverpool to be drawn against Manchester United in the Europa League.
Klopp believes facing United is no more difficult than facing plenty of other teams in the last 16
The Reds learnt their fate today as the luck of the draw pitted them against their Premier League rivals.
And despite the fact that the Reds were beaten by United in January and have won just two of their last ten encounters, Klopp claimed he was more than happy with the way the draw went.
"It's great, we deserve these games," Klopp said.
Liverpool meanwhile edged past German side Augsburg thanks to a James Milner penalty at Anfield after a goalless first leg away from home.
The other English side in the draw Tottenham have been drawn against Klopp's old side Borussia Dortmund.
