Jurgen Klopp has already shown Man United his Ibrahima Konate masterplan at Liverpool

It was perhaps no surprise that his Premier League debut came against Crystal Palace. Liverpool had played four times by that stage without Konate playing a single minute, but he was included from the beginning against the Eagles.
