Liverpool ‘cool’ with Europa League draw

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp says facing Manchester United in the last 16 of the Europa League was the “cool” tie he wanted.

Long-term adversaries United and Liverpool will go head to head for the first time in continental competition with a place in the quarter-finals at stake, the tournament winners qualifying for the Champions League.

Both are currently outside the Premier League’s top four so Europa League success could be their best chance of returning to Europe’s premier club competition next season.
