Outgoing Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says he would vote to scrap video assistant referees (VAR) because of how the system currently works.

Premier League clubs will vote on whether to scrap VAR from next season at their annual general meeting on 6 June.

VAR was introduced in 2019 to help support on-field officials with key match decisions, but there have been a number of controversial incidents involving the technology.

"I don't think they're [the club] voting against VAR, I think they'll vote about how it gets used, because that's definitely not right," Klopp said.
