Jurgen Klopp singles out Man Utd's top players and says he'd struggle to leave them out

Jurgen Klopp has singled out Marcus Rashford and Mason Greenwood - who he labelled exceptional - as two of Manchester United's most promising talents.

Klopp's Liverpool travel to Manchester on Thursday to take on their bitter rivals at Old Trafford, and the German is very aware of the threat the Red Devils pose up top.

United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has a good mix of attacking quality at his disposal, with experienced professionals like Uruguay international Edinson Cavani lining up alongside hungry young strikers like Greenwood and Amad Diallo.

And Klopp was full of praise for the new generation of English talent at United.

"It's a really good mix, the offensive potential they have," said Klopp.

"I don't know if you still consider - I don't know exactly, how old is Marcus Rashford? 21, 22, 23? He looks quite young, meanwhile, he is very experienced.

"But Mason Greenwood, absolutely exceptional, offensive talent.

"One of this English generation's offensive players, which is absolutely incredible if you count them all. You think, who would you want to leave out?

"Greenwood, [Phil] Foden, [Mason] Mount, [Raheem] Sterling - Sterling's not that young anymore - [Jadon] Sancho. Wow, what a generation."
