Jurgen Klopp rejects claim by Paul Scholes that he was 'rubbing his hands together' watching Manchester United's comeback win over Atalanta and labels their victory 'pure power presentation' ahead of Sunday's clash

Jurgen Klopp has dismissed claims from Paul Scholes that he was 'rubbing his hands together' while watching Manchester United's 3-2 comeback win over Atalanta in the week.

Scholes delivered a fearful assessment of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side after they fought back from 2-0 down to beat the Serie A outfit in the Champions League with in-form Liverpool due to visit Old Trafford on Sunday.

But Liverpool boss Klopp insisted at his Friday press conference that United's win served to underline the danger they pose to his side.
