Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said: "You can ask my staff but when they asked me yesterday who I wanted, I said 'Man United'. "I think we have to clear something. We had a good game when we lost 1-0 (in the Premier League in January) but it was not what we deserved. "It gives us a chance to make it better and that is what we will try to do."
