Jurgen Klopp says it is a fact that Manchester United are set up to defend against Liverpool at Old Trafford.

The Red Devils almost pinched a win over their rivals thanks to a goal from Marcus Rashford.

Adam Lallana rescued a point for the visitors, with Klopp insisting he wasn't frustrated by United's tactics.

The German said: "Why should it frustrate me? I'm not the person who should be frustrated by Man United's style.

"It's just a fact, when we come here, this year, last year, year before, they just defend. That's how it is, that's OK, it's no criticism, it's just a fact. It's not the usual way you think United plays against Liverpool, you would think both teams are trying like this.

"Again, the quality, we are the one team everybody is on their toes when United plays against us. It's no excuse, we need to do better, we can do better, but you cannot play against each team like this, how they played today.

"We are a good team, and when we play against somebody it is normal for them to say: 'How can we stop them?'"
