My goodness, does Jurgen Klopp know how to continue courting his supporters or what?
The Liverpool manager hauls a 2-0 lead in tow from last week’s 2-0 Europa League win over Manchester United into Thursday’s second leg at Old Trafford, and he says he has more than enough support to buoy his club to the next round.
Liverpool took the opportunity to train at the “Theatre of Dreams” on Wednesday ahead of the second leg, and Klopp spoke afterwards.

JK: “We will decide with our performance tomorrow how good the atmosphere is. 3,000 #LFC fans? That’s a good number. That’s enough.”

JK: “I enjoy to breathe the stadium the night before the game. There was no way we weren’t going to take opportunity to train here.”

Jordan Henderson is fairly fired up and confident as well:

Klopp loves to play free-flowing football, but will he go all-out despite his lead? With this match being just the second ever European tournament match in the rivalry, he has a chance to stamp his place in history with a massive win over two legs.
After losing both league matches against United, Liverpool can make it 2-2 on the season with a win. Betting on it?
