Gary Neville responds to Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp after 'opinion' claim

Gary Neville has responded to Jurgen Klopp's claim that the former Manchester United defender has an "opinion on everything".

And the Sky pundit is happy that the Liverpool boss is watching - or being wound up - by his thoughts.

Speaking to the BBC about life during lockdown and what he had learned, Klopp couldn't resist a playful jab at Neville.

Klopp said: "I didn't learn a lot during lockdown except Gary Neville has an opinion on absolutely everything!

"It's incredible!"

Neville is happy to have reached Klopp - even if he does admit the Liverpool manager has a point.

"The fact that Jurgen's recognised it means that either he's been watching which is good, it's bugged him which is good or he's enjoyed my opinions which is good," he told Joe.co.uk.

"There's no ruse here but what I would say is that doing these shows three times a week for two hours... I've enjoyed it but it just feels like you're constantly giving an opinion on everything you're asked.

"The reality is I'm glad football's restarting because we can concentrate on giving comment on football matches.

"But he's right and I know you [Jamie Carragher] feel the same because you're talking constantly every single day about football and there was nothing happening so you're just offering opinion on the same stuff."
