Jurgen Klopp responds to 10-year-old Manchester United fan who asked him to make Liverpool lose

Jurgen Klopp had a heartwarming response to 10-year-old Manchester United fan who sent a letter asking him to make Liverpool never win again. Daragh Curley tried to convince the Liverpool boss to not win the league. In a letter sent last month, the Donegal resident also told the German that he did not want to see the Merseyside club better Arsenal's 2002 record of 49 unbeaten Premier League games. The Glenswilly National School pupil wrote: "Liverpool are winning too many games. If you win nine more games then you have the best unbeaten run in English football. Being a United fan that is very sad. So the next time Liverpool play, please make them lose. You should just let the other team score. I hope I have convinced you to not win the league or any other match ever again." Klopp's reply read: "Unfortunately, on this occasion I cannot grant your request, not through choice anyway. As much as you want Liverpool to lose it is my job to do everything that I can to help Liverpool to win as there are millions of people around the world who want that to happen, so I really do not want to let them down." "Luckily for you, we have lost games in the past and we will lose games in the future because that is football. The problem is when you are 10-years-old you think that things will always be as they are now but if there is one thing I can tell you as 52-years-old it is that this most definitely isn't the case." The German added: "I think I can safely say that one thing that will not change is your passion for football and for your club. Manchester United are lucky to have you. I hope that if we are lucky enough to win more games and maybe even lift some more trophies you will not be too disappointed because although our clubs are great rivals we also share a great respect for one another. This, to me, is what football is all about." Source: The Mirror Join us on Telegram!
