Man Utd legend claims Liverpool are no good but praises Klopp after questioning Van Gaal

DWIGHT YORKE claims Liverpool are "not good enough" to be challenging at the top of the Premier League but thinks manager Jurgen Klopp can turn their fortunes around.

 

The Manchester United legend, who hit more than 50 goals in three trophy-filled years at Old Trafford, thinks Klopp just needs time to bring in his own players.

Yorke was speaking exclusively to 888sport.com after United's 2-0 win over West Brom, where he questioned Van Gaal's defensive methods.

 

United's fiercest rivals were beaten 2-1 at home by Crystal Palace the following day but he is certain they will come good under Klopp, who took over from Brendan Rodgers last month.

“Under this man they have a very good chance," he said.

 

Dwight Yorke thinks Jurgen Klopp has what it takes to get Liverpool challenging again

 

"I like his style of management. He seems to get the best out of players, gets them fired up and has come with a good pedigree. 

"I don’t think the squad is anywhere near good enough to be challenging but if he gets his own way and brings his players in it won’t be long before they’re there or thereabouts.”
