Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp compared the advantages of his team's top scorer, Mohamed Salah, and Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo, before facing the two teams next Sunday in the English Premier League football "Premier League".
The match will see a long-awaited meeting between Ronaldo and Salah, but Klopp said there is no point in trying to compare the players.

He added, "Why should you compare Cristiano and Salah? Both are world-class players. I would say that Salah's left foot may be better, and Ronaldo's headers may be better, as well as his right foot. In terms of speed, both of them are fast and always strive to score goals." .

United Uprising
The Liverpool coach also confirmed today, Friday, that Manchester United is an exceptional team, and its recent uprising in the Champions League against Atalanta showed that he has the competence and the ability to create problems for any team.
United were behind their fans in the first half 2-0 against the Italian team at Old Trafford, before returning strongly in the second half to win 3-2 and top their group.
Paul Scholes, a former Manchester United midfielder and television analyst, said Klopp, who will visit Old Trafford on Sunday, "may have been happy at half-time after watching United's performance in the first half," but the German coach said that "this was not the case."

Klopp told reporters, "I did not feel comfortable or happy while watching the game, there was no reason for that. Atlanta caused some problems for United but even in the first half, United had 3 clear and dangerous chances."
"Manchester United put in a strong performance in the second half, with the quality of the team they can cause problems for any team. I prepared my team for a difficult match against a really good and exceptional opponent. The match is away from us as well."

United have not achieved any victory in the last 3 Premier League matches, losing twice to drop to sixth place.
Klopp said his team will face a strong opponent in one of the highlights of the season.
"United against Liverpool, a massive match. I think they are not very happy with the results the team has achieved so far, but we all know that United can do incredible things and we have already seen that."
