The brilliant moment Jurgen Klopp pulls Sir Alex Ferguson into his photograph while celebrating winning Manager of the Year trophy... after Manchester United legend hilariously admitted handing Liverpool boss the gong was 'absolute agony']

A heartwarming moment of mutual respect between Jurgen Klopp and Sir Alex Ferguson went viral after the Liverpool boss was presented with the Manager of the Year award on Tuesday.

Although Liverpool missed out on the Premier League trophy to Manchester City on Sunday, the League Managers Association recognised Klopp's incredible campaign with the Reds by handing him the ultimate managerial accolade.

As Manchester United legend Ferguson presented the award, he stepped back to allow Klopp a photograph alongside England manager Gareth Southgate - but the German quickly beckoned Ferguson back to be included in the photographs.
