'You've got yourself a manager there': Sir Alex Ferguson said Liverpool would win the Premier League title under Jurgen Klopp back in 2017, according to Jamie Carragher

Sir Alex Ferguson knew Jurgen Klopp would be the man to end Liverpool's 30-year wait for an English title from the moment he arrived, according to Jamie Carragher.

The German touched-down on Merseyside in 2015 after impressing with his high-risk-high-reward pressing game at Borussia Dortmund, taking them to the Champions League final and winning the Bundesliga twice.

However, Klopp arrived to a squad needing serious refurbishment after a sixth-place finish under Brendan Rodgers in 2014-15, before a lowly eighth in his first campaign left few envisioning the monumental success he has brought.

The German coach has brought incredible success but few could have predicted it early on

'Outside Anfield, there was only one high-profile figure in the game who tried to convince me Klopp could bring the title to Anfield,' Carragher told the Telegraph.
