Borussia Dortmund teenage sensation Christian Pulisic has revealed he is a Manchester United fan.
Liverpool made a late bid to sign the United States international before the transfer window closed last week.
Klopp looked to raid his former club for Pulisic, who has been tipped for a bright future following his impressive start to senior football.
However, the 17-year-old has potentially thrown a spanner in the works of any future bid after revealing his affection for their fiercest rivals.
“I was a big Manchester United fan when I was younger, so I loved to watch Wayne Rooney,” Pulisic told ESPN, via The Daily Mail.
“I wouldn’t say I’m a similar player, though. I think his passion for the game is something you don’t see much in players. That’s what I loved about him.”
Pulisic became the youngest ever player to start in a World Cup qualifier for the United States in their 4-0 win over Trinidad and Tobago. The teenager already has three goals in seven matches for the US.
