Liverpool can silence Man Utd faithful - Klopp

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is confident the Reds can take the Old Trafford crowd out of the game when they take on Manchester United in the return leg of their Europa League Round of 16 tie on Thursday.

The former Borussia Dortmund manager believes the Reds, who hold a 2-0 advantage, can silence the United faithful by starting the fixture in a positive fashion.

"The atmosphere is loud too when all the people hate you. I don't understand what the crowd is singing, so it's easy for me", Klopp said.

"In Liverpool, it was different. If we had played poorly, I'm sure it would have not been too easy, the same atmosphere.

"We will decide how good the atmosphere is on Thursday with our performance. We want to do our best and mean that it's difficult to enjoy the game for Man United."
