Jose Mourinho has said Jurgen Klopp played a huge role in ensuring a second straight goalless draw between Manchester United and Liverpool at Anfield.

I don’t judge this, it’s all OK. “We have to think about our performance, our situation and it’s not worse. Yes, we wanted to win, 100 percent. We were working for it. All the subs were quite offensive. There were a lot of brilliant individual performances in…
