Jamie Carragher has suggested that Jurgen Klopp refrained from doing his trademark fist-pump celebration towards the Kop after Liverpool’s 7-0 dismantling of Manchester United to avoid “rubbing it in”.

Six second-half goals left the visitors stunned as they succumbed to their heaviest-ever defeat to Liverpool and biggest loss since 1931.

It was the first time in 28 games that United had failed to find the net as the hosts pinned them in their own half for the final 45 minutes.

With Anfield jubilant, the Kop was baying for Klopp to produce his trademark celebration after full-time. However, the German refused and instead gave a circular motion with his arm to gesture that the side needs to keep going after an underwhelming season.
