Jurgen Klopp has played down a conversation with Bruno Fernandes following Manchester United’s 2-1 win over Liverpool on Monday evening.
The pair were seen exchanging words after the final whistle, which the German later revealed was about Lisandro Martinez ’s late altercation with Fabio Carvalho. The Argentina international went to ground following a coming together with the second-half substitute in stoppage time.
Klopp spoke with Fernandes - who put in a talismanic display - during the post-match handshakes about the incident. “It was not animated,” the Liverpool manager insisted, afterwards.
