Jurgen Klopp is being short with journalists because he is feeling the pressure of an average start to the season, according to Andrei Kanchelskis.
Expectations were heightened for the Reds after they recorded a morale-boosting 3-1 victory against Premier League champions Manchester City in the Community Shield. But fortunes have been somewhat reversed in the opening two rounds of league matches with City recording comfortable back-to-back wins while Liverpool could only manage draws against Fulham and Crystal Palace.
The Carabao and FA Cup holders face pointless Manchester United next and ahead of the Old Trafford match-up, retired winger Kanchelskis who starred for the Red Devils in the 90s under Sir Alex Ferguson before joining Merseyside rivals Everton, believes Liverpool are favourites but German boss Klopp is responding in a more prickly fashion to reporters because he is so used to winning.
