Sheffield Utd boss Wilder insists no rift with Liverpool rival Klopp

Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder insists he has no problem with Liverpool counterpart Jurgen Klopp.

Earlier in the season Blades boss Wilder accused Klopp of being selfish over his desire to have five substitutes per Premier League game.

However, ahead of the two sides' meeting at Bramall Lane on Sunday, Wilder said: "The relationship is absolutely fine.

“I've got nothing but admiration for Jurgen, he's a top class manager. People talk and if I was precious about what people said.

“He's a winner, we all try to win and he's done that in incredible fashion. In the heat of the moment… if it was personal I didn't take it personal.

“I've moved on, I've got enough on to worry about stuff like that and it's way down the pecking order for me."
