Manchester United approached Jurgen Klopp over the possibility of replacing David Moyes in 2014 but then Borussia Dortmund manager ignored the Red Devils due to his wife’s advice.

According to former Liverpool defender Phil Thompson, the former Borussia Dortmund manager had the intention of accepting United’s offer but he surprisingly changed his mind after discussing with his wife.

While speaking with TV2, Thompson revealed that Klopp told him how his wife convinced him to ignore the Red Devils coaching job because she didn’t feel good about the deal.

The Merseyside club approached Jurgen Klopp and the German tactician happily accepted the offer, but that’s after discussing with his wife.

As much as it is strange that the highly-regarded manager would let his wife decide his next destination, choosing Liverpool over the Red Devils obviously turned out to be a perfect decision.

His stay at Anfield has brought more fame and value to the team having led them to their sixth Champions League trophy last season.

He was equally close to winning his first Premier League title only to be denied by Pep Guardiola’s awesome team in a title race that stretched to the very last day of the 2018-19 season.

Harry Wilson was on loan at Derby County last season where he scored 18 goals for the Rams as the Welsh international almost led the English Championship club back to the Premier League before the 2-1 defeat to the playoff final.

Manchester United’s scouts are happy with the performance they’ve seen from two of their transfer targets Kalvin Phillips and Ben Whites who both play for Championship side Leeds United.

Phillips is a versatile youngster who can perfectly feature as a defensive midfielder or a center-back and he has been wonderful for the Elland Road outfits this season.

As for Ben White, the Englishman completed a loan deal from Brighton prior to the start of the campaign as he was unable to get first-team actions ahead of Lewis Dunk, Shane Duffy and Leon Balogun.

The young defender is doing wonderfully well at Leeds but he’s expected to return back to the Amex Stadium after the season.

Nonetheless, Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is impressed with the two players and Football Insider reported that the manager could be going for the services in the next summer as he continues to build a young formidable squad who will win the Premier League glory sooner than expected.

The media outlet went on to suggest that Brighton are hoping to pocket £20m from White’s signature while Leeds United are yet to place a demand on Phillips who recently signed a new four-year contract extension.

Liverpool are also said to be interested in White’s signature but the Reds are yet to make any move for his services.

The Reds were able to extend their advantage at the top of the Premier League table courtesy the controversial 3-1 win over Premier League champions Manchester City.
