Liverpool FC manager Jurgen Klopp believes he had an easier start to life at Anfield than Erik ten Hag has had at Manchester United.
Comparisons have been made with the German’s Merseyside revival and the task Ten Hag has on his hands at Old Trafford. Klopp took over a struggling Liverpool outfit in 2015 and transformed them into one of the world’s best club sides.
In his seven years, he has won every major trophy available to him including the coveted maiden Premier League title in 2020. United are hoping Ten Hag can be the manager to guide them back to such heights in time, having not won a trophy in five years and a league title in nine.

Klopp said he believes the quest facing the Dutchman, though, is more difficult than the job he took on. “I think for me it was easier because I didn't come for the start of the season, we didn't have a transfer window,' he said.
“In England people tend to say then, 'Yeah, it's not his team.' I actually thought after one day it's my team, so I felt really responsible for all the performances from the first game. But it's easier.”
He added: “And now, I don't think you can really compare it, different times. My arrival is probably seven years ago - it's a long time in football, a lot of things changed since then.
“But it's not easy, definitely not, especially when you have to 'rebuild', or however they see it, but change a lot of things (in a) team. That's not easy.”
