Liverpool boss Klopp: Solskjaer has done brilliantly at Man Utd

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has been impressed with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's work at Manchester United.

Klopp will face Solskjaer for the first time this Sunday at Old Trafford.

The Norwegian has gone unbeaten in the Premier League since replacing Jose Mourinho in December, and Klopp thinks he has done a "brilliant man".

"We are not magicians. It's not like we can come in and say: 'You are good but I can make you really good'," Klopp told Sky Sports.

"We are blessed with really good players around us.

"Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is doing a brilliant job. It's all about bringing out the potential, bringing out the team's quality. That's what he's obviously done and it makes him the manager of a top club.

"That's how it is, but I'm not surprised.

"I didn't know him - I met him one time last year and we had a little chat - I obviously only knew him as a player. But what he's done so far has been brilliant."
