Liverpool owner John W Henry had a brief message for Jurgen Klopp following the Reds’ win over Manchester United on Sunday.
Klopp’s Liverpool had just claimed the bragging rights against bitter rivals Manchester United with a 2-0 win at Anfield.
Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah wrapped up the result with goals in either half, with the victory seeing the Reds go 16 points clear at the top of the Premier League.

But Klopp insists he and his players are not getting carried away just yet.
“They can sing that [We’re going to win the league],” said Klopp. “I am not here to dictate what they sing. If our fans were not in a good mood now that would be really strange.
“Of course they are allowed to dream and sing whatever they want, and as long as they do their job in the moment we play, all fine. But we will not be part of that party yet.”
