Klopp responds to Fernandes-to-United speculation: “It’s not nice”

Jurgen Klopp commented on the future of Bruno Fernandes following Liverpool’s 2-2 draw with Sporting Lisbon last night.

The Portuguese international played a key role in Sporting’s performance at Yankee Stadium in New York yesterday, scoring the opening goal and creating another for his side in the second half.

Both Liverpool and Manchester United have been heavily linked with a move for the midfielder, but the Reds boss made his stance clear when asked what will happen if United secure him.

“If he will do that then we will face him,” Klopp answered.

“He’s obviously a really good player. They have already a few really good players, so that will probably make them stronger.

“It’s not nice, but it (United’s transfer business) is not our cup of tea, to be honest.”

Marcel Keizer, Sporting Lisbon manager, was also asked about Fernandes’ future following the draw with Liverpool.

“Bruno is a good player, an important player,” he said.

“Everyone would like that he stays but we do not know what the future will bring so we have to wait.

“Do I know about an official approach? I am just the coach. You ask the wrong guy.

“We know he plays very well and clubs like him and we have to see what happens.

“This is the job for the coach. You realise some players can go. Every player can go. Wait and see.”
