Run it back to 2020, when a 10-year-old Manchester United fan wrote a letter to Jürgen Klopp asking him to stop winning every game:
"Liverpool are winning too many games and you will soon break the unbeaten record. Supporting Manchester United makes me sad. So the next time Liverpool play, make them lose. Let the other team win... I hope I've convinced you to never win a game again."
Unbelievably Jürgen Klopp responded to him in this brilliant letter:
"Dear Daragh, first of all, thank you for writing to me. I know you didn't wish me luck but it's always good to read from a young football fan so thanks for reaching out.
Unfortunately, this time I cannot accept your request, I have no choice. Even if you want Liverpool to lose, it's my job to do everything to help Liverpool win because there are millions of people around the world who want that so I don't want to disappoint them.
Lucky for you, we have lost games in the past and we will lose games in the future because it's football.
The problem when you're 10 is that you think things will stay the way they are now but if there's one thing I can tell you at 52 it's that it's not really not the case.
What I can guarantee you is that what will not change is your passion for football and your club. Manchester United are lucky to have you. Even though our clubs are rivals, we have a lot of mutual respect. That's football."
