Jurgen Klopp explains why he made exception to Liverpool transfer rule for Darwin Nunez

The German had slammed Manchester United 's decision to spend a similar amount of money on Paul Pogba back in 2016. At the time, he insisted that it was something that he would never do as he took aim at the Red Devils.
