Piers Morgan brands Jurgen Klopp 'sore loser numpty' after Liverpool boss storms out of TV interview

Piers Morgan has called Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp a "graceless sore loser" and a "numpty" after he stormed out of a TV interview following his team's FA Cup quarter-final loss to Manchester United.

Liverpool lost 4-3 in a thrilling match, with Amad scoring the winning goal for United in the 122nd minute. Klopp was visibly upset during a post-match interview with Viaplay Sweden at Old Trafford, and snapped back at a question about the Reds lack of intensity.

A clip of the incident went viral on social media after the intense FA Cup quarter-final match, and Morgan shared his opinion.

Morgan's tweet got over 9,000 likes in just 11 hours. One fan said: "Any other manager will be lambasted for this. This is classless." But some people remembered that Morgan had stood up for his mate Cristiano Ronaldo when he was upset after a game. He once said: "Show me a good loser and I'll show you a loser - Vince Lombardi," when Ronaldo was angry after a match with his team Al-Nassr.

In the video, which Morgan didn't show, Klopp asks the reporter, "What
