Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says the manner of their comeback victories this season is building team spirit.

The Reds host Manchester United on Sunday.

Klopp said "Yeah, it came rather from that [comeback victories].

I knew at the beginning [of the season] we have a really good football team. We brought a really good few boys, and actually the boys who were here we all knew how good they can be. So that was obvious from pretty early.

But what is that? Tell me one Premier League squad who is not good, that is just existing. Especially if you fight for the top four, they are all outstanding so that's what you have to be.

These experiences, we said it when it happened early, early in the season; we had a good pre-season, a long pre-season and we didn't train once 10v11 and had to play it pretty much for the first five games all the time! We did that really well and yeah, that brings a group together obviously.

That helps the process definitely if you get through it. If you don't get through it, it's the opposite actually. But we got through this and that was extremely helpful.

It's now a while ago, we know each other much better. It's still new but we know each other much better and the steps we make I like. Will they always be big enough? I don't know yet, we have to see that.

But so far I can see development, and that's actually what I need to understand where it could end up. But that's not possible in the moment because of the things I said before."
