“He lost 6-0 to us in my first year, so I didn’t remember him as a mentality monster on the pitch. But what he said about Man United on that show was: I was about to call him and tell him, “You completely forgot you were a player.”

What Abonlahore said about United

“If I were them [United] After this game you’re going to be like ‘Ten Hag, clean up’,” said the former Aston Villa forward. Like a stranger on the pitch.
“They are not enough. [David] De Gea must know it [Christian] Eriksen has a man behind him, use your brains and don’t give it to him.
“If it was Gary Neville at halftime [commentating for Sky Sports] He threw in a white towel and said, “Okay, it’s 4-0. I can’t take it anymore.”
“They are not united, they are divided, they are not working for each other. Look at them. They are like strangers on the pitch.”
Klopp: United have quality
In his pre-match press conference ahead of Monday’s trip to Old Trafford, Klopp defended Ten Hag’s side despite United’s early-season woes.
United beat Liverpool 4-0 in Bangkok, and Klopp worked hard to remind the public of the quality Ten Hag has in his team.
“Away games with United are never easy,” Klopp said. “We have to do our best.
“That’s your word [that United had a bad start to the season]I want to play after United win 5-0. Is it as bad as drawing two games or worse? I don’t know.
“They like playing in the back and can see and feel the high-pressing ideas.
“We weren’t ready for the game in pre-season. The quality they have up front is ridiculous. The quality in midfield – no matter who’s in the line-up – Eriksen, Fernandes, van de Beek, Fred. Either way, I think Donnie is really good…and there’s McTominay.
“A lot of things have to be rebuilt and changed, and it’s not easy.”
