Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp admits he's still trying to ease expectations around Thiago Alcantara ahead of today's clash with Manchester United.

Klopp admits he has tried to lessen the expectation on Thiago by suggesting he is like a new signing for January.

“To put the pressure a little bit off the situation I said we should sign Thiago in the window but we did now and now he is here let's hope he stays like this for a long, long, long, long time," Klopp said.

“The most important thing is he fit and he trained. He had 90 and 45 minutes in the last two games. We will see if he can play and which position he can play because there are different options.

“But it is really good to have him around now. He is a really good guy and an exceptional football player. It is like a new signing."
