Gary Neville has laid out reasons why Jurgen Klopp is a manager he would have liked to play under. The Manchester United legend, who played his entire career under the legendary Sir Alex Ferguson, had to choose from the Premier League's current coaches and he opted for Liverpool boss Klopp over Manchester City's Pep Guardiola and Tottenham's Jose Mourinho.

Liverpool are 25 points clear of champions Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table and only need two more wins to secure their first major title in 30 years. When asked the question on Sky Sports' The Football Show, the former United right-back Neville replied: "I'd probably say Jurgen Klopp. I just look at the way his teams play at this moment in time, they're adaptable.

"They do play with possession but they also counter-attack, they're also competitive. They're not one-trick ponies and I think it just looks like he's full of energy, full of belief, confidence, always feel like he wants to attack. "But obviously there are other great managers in the Premier League - Pep Guardiola is one of the greatest managers of all time, but I just think Klopp is someone who would be great to play for."

Former England and Liverpool midfielder Jamie Redknapp announced that he would prefer to play for the former Barca boss, and also said both managers are the best at what they do.

"There are two managers that stand head and shoulders above everyone, that's Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp in the Premier League right now," Redknapp said.

"Personally I'd have been more suited to playing for Pep Guardiola. I think to play in Jurgen Klopp's midfield, it's not always about intricate passing. "With Pep he wants his team to play, he wants to dominate the ball, and it would've just suited my style more. "But I'd have liked to have played for either of them - the team talks, just the knowledge of working with them day-in, day-out."
