Liverpool manager Klopp pleased with 'dangerous' Darwin Nunez in Man Utd defeat | OneFootball

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp was delighted with a 'dangerous' performance from Darwin Nunez against Manchester United in Bangkok on Tuesday.

The club's record signing failed to score on debut as United out 4-0 winners.

But Klopp believes Nunez is already developing connections with his teammates.

"He is a number nine who can play on the wing as well," Kopp said, via the Liverpool Echo. "We will see where he plays.

"But what you could see is the boys were already searching for him. It was his third session (since arriving for pre-season training) and I think after the third sprint his lungs were ready to explode. We nearly killed him these balls but he offered the runs and the boys wanted to pass the ball, that is for sure one of his strengths. He was dangerous.

"His profile is a proper number nine so that's helpful with speed and aggression and using his body."
