Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says his Manchester United counterpart Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has proved he deserves to manage a "top club".

Solskjaer is currently only in charge at United on a caretaker basis, but has enjoyed remarkable success since replacing Jose Mourinho just before Christmas.

United looked out of contention for Champions League qualification at that stage but are now fourth in the table, having won eight and drawn one of their nine Premier League games since Solskjaer was appointed.

Asked what he thought of Solskjaer's United tenure so far, Klopp told Sky Sports: "I am a manager myself and I know that we are not magicians.

"It is not like we can come in and say 'you are not good, but I can make you really good! But we are blessed with really good players around us and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is doing a brilliant job.

"It is all about bringing out the potential of the team, improving the quality, and that is what he obviously did and that makes him a manager for a top club."

I don’t see how they can’t give him the job now.

I don’t see how they can’t give him the job now.

Nor me Ned, if Ole makes the Top 4 come May.

Not bothered either way.

Utd are playing fluent attacking football and looking rather quality in doing so, oles doing a fantastic job and think he deserves it 100%

I dont think it will last with Ole, he's on a crest of a wave after the disaster that was Mourinho. If I was a united fan id want them to get Pochettino and set a long term plan in place.

The wheels will fall off. Do matteo done well at chelski for a short while
