(Reuters) – Liverpool boss Juergen Klopp praised Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's ability to unleash the potential of his players. He believes that Manchester United's interim manager has the necessary qualities to manage the best teams after immediately impacting Old Trafford.
United have won eight of their nine Premier League matches under Solskjaer to return to the top four, a prospect that seemed bleak when former boss Jose Mourinho was sacked in December by the team in sixth place.
Speaking before Sunday's game in the league, Klopp said he was impressed by United's form since the 3-1 defeat against Liverpool which resulted in the sacking of the Portuguese coach.
"It's all about bringing out the team's potential, improving quality and that's what he (Solskjaer) obviously did, which makes him a coach for a big club," he said. Klopp told Sky Sports.
"I'm a manager myself and I know we're not wizards, it's not like we can come in and say," you're not good, but I can make you really good. ".
"But we are lucky to have very good players around us and Solskjaer is doing a brilliant job."
United, who has 51 points in 26 games, has taken a more offensive approach to Solskjaer, but Klopp said they could change their style on Sunday.
"We will see how they will play against us, I think they are able to play in different ways," added the German.
"They're much more forward thinking now, it's clear, but their counter-attacks pose a huge threat, especially when Anthony Martial and Jesse Lingard got back in shape.
"It's not just something they're good at. There are many ways to ask them at least a few questions for which they do not have an easy answer, but it will be a very physical and very demanding game for them. two teams . "
