In a story that has stunned the football world, Jürgen Klopp has reportedly agreed in principle to take over the Manchester United managerial job, but only on one surprising condition — that a certain “arrogant” Manchester United player must leave the club before he officially signs his contract.
The former Liverpool boss, who transformed the Reds into European and Premier League champions, is now said to be on the verge of making a sensational return to English football, this time at the home of their fiercest rivals, Manchester United. But Klopp, known for his strict standards and team-first philosophy, is not ready to compromise when it comes to dressing-room discipline.
According to sources close to Old Trafford, Klopp made his stance very clear during initial discussions with the club’s top executives. The German tactician reportedly told them:
“I have agreed to rebuild Manchester United just the same way I did with Liverpool before Arne Slot took over. But for that to happen, this Manchester United player needs to leave — I don’t work with arrogant players.”
The unnamed star is believed to be a senior squad member with a strong influence in the dressing room — someone Klopp reportedly views as an obstacle to the culture and mentality he wants to establish at the club.
A source close to the talks told reporters that Klopp wants to “reset the culture” at United, focusing on hard work, humility, and unity — values that defined his era at Liverpool. He is determined to bring that same energy to Old Trafford but insists he cannot do so if certain egos remain in the team.
“Klopp is not interested in working with players who think they are untouchable,” the source added. “He wants fighters, not celebrities. That’s how he built Liverpool’s dominance, and that’s how he plans to rebuild Manchester United.”
United officials, who have been searching for a long-term successor capable of restoring the club’s glory days, see Klopp as the perfect candidate. His proven record of rebuilding struggling clubs into title-winning sides makes him their top target.
However, this latest revelation means that any appointment may depend on whether the club is willing to sanction the sale of the player in question. Negotiations are ongoing, but insiders claim both parties are optimistic about reaching an agreement soon.
If confirmed, this could become one of the most sensational managerial moves in football history — the man who once led Liverpool to greatness now preparing to take charge of their greatest rivals, Manchester United.
