Jürgen Klopp finally reveals the one United star who must go before he accepts the Manchester United job

The football world has been left in disbelief following reports that Jürgen Klopp has agreed in principle to become Manchester United’s next manager — but with one major condition. The former Liverpool boss has allegedly made it clear that he will only sign the deal if a particular “arrogant” United player is removed from the squad before his arrival.

Klopp, who famously guided Liverpool to both Premier League and Champions League glory, appears ready to make a stunning comeback to English football — only this time at the home of Liverpool’s biggest rivals. True to his reputation for discipline and high standards, the German coach is said to have drawn a firm line regarding the type of players he is willing to work with.

Sources from within Old Trafford claim that during early talks, Klopp did not hold back his feelings. He reportedly told United’s top hierarchy that while he is open to rebuilding the club in the same way he rejuvenated Liverpool before Arne Slot succeeded him, one player must be shown the door first. “I can’t work with arrogant players,” Klopp allegedly declared.

The identity of the player remains undisclosed, but reports suggest he is a senior figure in the squad who holds significant influence in the dressing room — someone Klopp believes stands in the way of the culture of humility and hard work he hopes to instill.

Insiders close to the negotiations revealed that Klopp’s goal is to completely overhaul the mentality within the team. He wants to revive United’s fighting spirit, emphasizing unity over ego, much like he did at Liverpool. “He doesn’t want superstars who think they’re above the team,” a source explained. “He wants warriors who will give everything for the badge.”

Manchester United’s board, desperate to restore the club’s lost glory, reportedly view Klopp as the ideal candidate for a long-term revival. His track record of transforming struggling teams into champions makes him the standout choice.

However, this demand for a player’s exit could delay or even jeopardize the deal unless United are willing to meet his condition. Discussions are ongoing, and optimism remains high that both parties can find common ground soon.

If finalized, Klopp’s move to Old Trafford would go down as one of the most shocking managerial switches in football history — the man who conquered Anfield now preparing to take charge of their fiercest rivals.
