Former Premier League referee slams “hypocrite” Jurgen Klopp

Former Premier League referee Mark Clattenburg has responded to Jurgen Klopp’s comments about the amount of penalties awarded to Manchester United.

Klopp recently made headlines following Liverpool’s 1-0 away defeat to Southampton. His side had a penalty appeal waved away when winger Sadio Mane went down under a challenge from Kyle Walker-Peters.

Mane’s penalty appeal was turned down

After the game, the German was fuming, stating that “Man Utd had more penalties in two years than me in five and a half years.”

Former Premier League referee Mark Clattenburg has responded to this claim, believing that the comments are mind games ahead of Sunday’s huge game between Liverpool and Man Utd at Anfield.
