Jurgen Klopp reaction to Jordan Henderson after the club’s captain refused his handshake has earned praise for the manager.

Manchester United relished a hard-earned draw against Liverpool in the Premier League last night.

Jurgen Klopp’s side was criticised for being laid back and slow on attack, as Manchester United had more close chances than the visitors.

The hosts lost their three first-team starters – Ander Herrera, Juan Mata and Jesse Lingard to muscle injuries, which gave Liverpool an upper edge in the second half.

However, Liverpool failed to capitalize on the opportunity as a makeshift United side salvaged a draw against the league leaders.

 

Even when Liverpool fans were fairly annoyed with the side’s performance, there came a moment in the game where they applauded Jurgen Klopp for his gesture towards Jordan Henderson.

Klopp took the club’s captain off late in the second half. Henderson, while not showing his frustration, refused to shake Klopp’s hands as he applauded the Liverpool supporters.

However, Klopp approached the midfielder and seemingly confronts him. Henderson reacted positively to Klopp’s reaction as he shook his hands.

Here’s the video:

Liverpool, however, failed to secure more than a point at Old Trafford. The side climbed to the top of the league and lead Manchester City by a single point.

Manchester United, meanwhile, have dropped to the fifth position as Arsenal secured a 2-0 win over Southampton.

Jurgen Klopp’s men will return to action at the Anfield as the league leaders aim to regain momentum with the game against Watford. Manchester United travel to the Selhurst Park to take on Crystal Palace.
