Manchester United great Sir Alex Ferguson has revealed that Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp rang him in the early hours to tell him that the Merseyside club had won the Premier League title.
Klopp guided Liverpool to their first league title in 30 years and has now been awarded the trophy named after the former United boss as he was named LMA manager of the year for the 2019/20 season.
Speaking in a pre-recorded message on Sky Sports News on Monday evening, Ferguson issued a glowing verdict on Klopp.
The brief message to the German also includes a brilliant revelation that the Liverpool boss rang Ferguson in the early hours to tell him that Liverpool had won the league title.
Ferguson told Sky Sports: "The winner, Jurgen Klopp. Jurgen, fantastic. I speak about Leeds United and 16 years in the Championship, Liverpool 30 years since winning that league is incredible.
"You really thoroughly deserved it. Your performance level of your team was fantastic. Your personality runs right through the whole club. I think it was a marvellous performance.
"I will forgive you for waking me up in the morning at half-past three to tell me you won the league! Thank you. You thoroughly deserved it, well done."
