David Moyes's short tenure at Old Trafford was coming to an end, and Klopp was United's favourite to replace him, to bring back a sense of adventure to the Red Devils' game."Woodward told Klopp that the Theatre of Dreams was 'like an adult version of Disneyland', a mythical place where, as the nickname suggested, the entertainment was world class and dreams came true."Klopp wasn't entirely convinced by that sales pitch - he found it a bit 'unsexy', he told a friend - but he didn't dismiss the proposition out of hand either."Contract reactionWhilst at Liverpool, Klopp appeared baffled when handed a United contract at the start of a press conference.

At that time, I would've been interested - I was young, I had a sensational team at Dortmund. They probably thought, 'What is he doing there?'"."Later on, I heard my players - James Milner and Adam Lallana - had flown to Real Madrid when we [Dortmund] had a semifinal there in the Champions League, just to watch us play.

Klopp cited his decision to withdraw from management as down to diminished energy levels, whilst emphasising that he harboured no intention of joining any of the club's Premier League competitors."If you ask me, 'Will you ever work as a manager again?' I would say now no. But I don't know obviously how that will feel because I never had the situation," Klopp stated.
