Gary Lineker's sarcastic Jurgen Klopp tweet goes down like a lead balloon

Gary Lineker's sarcastic Jurgen Klopp remark has not gone down as planned on social media after the Liverpool boss signed a new deal at Anfield.

Reports began circulating on Thursday that the German was due to extend his contract with the Reds. Lineker replied to a tweet and joked: "Don’t know what they see in him". Klopp's credentials cannot be questioned after he's delivered the Premier League and the Champions League during his tenure.

However Lineker's witty remark didn't get the reception he was perhaps looking for. One fan hit back and said: "He’s an excellent manager, Gary" to which the TV presenter said: "Really? You think?" Lineker was also warned that his comments would be taken in the wrong way, to which he replied: "I'm hoping so".
