Jamie Redknapp has lavished praise on Jurgen Klopp and his ‘incredible’ refreshment of Liverpool’s squad, likening him to Sir Alex Ferguson. 

The pundit, formerly a Liverpool player, has been taken aback by just how quickly Klopp has positioned the Reds as title challengers after a summer overhaul. 

Liverpool saw key players Jordan Henderson, Fabinho and Roberto Firmino all poached by Saudi Arabian clubs and lost others on free transfers such as James Milner. 

They were beaten to big money targets in the form of Romeo Lavia and Moises Caicedo by Chelsea – but their alternative recruitment has got Anfield roaring. 

Dominik Szoboszlai, Ryan Gravenberch, Alexis Mac Allister and Wataru Endo have revitalised the midfield and Redknapp expressed his admiration.

He told Sky Sports: ‘This has been an incredible rebuild, to be in this position right now and how he’s turned it around, Jurgen Klopp.

‘From looking like a team I didn’t quite know where they were going, I was thinking two or three years before Liverpool can challenge again. To get them in this position just shows you how good Jurgen Klopp is. 

‘Alex Ferguson was the best at it. He would always reinvent teams, bring in new players. Jurgen Klopp is showing that quality very quickly this year and I’m so excited by this team.

‘I just don’t see how Manchester United can keep them out. I just think Liverpool have got too much for them.    

‘I think Liverpool right now, they’ve got the bit between their teeth, they’re playing well.

‘Going forward, where Manchester United are so weak defensively, Liverpool are so strong.’

Liverpool host Manchester United at Anfield on Sunday having won all 11 of their home games this campaign. 

When the transfer window slammed shut, Mail Sport gave Liverpool a rating of B- for their transfer business.

That was below the likes of Chelsea, who scored a B, but so far it is Liverpool reaping immense rewards from their dealings. 

Szoboszlai has made a particular difference chipping in with three goals and three assists. His driving, penetrative runs from midfield wearing the No 8 shirt have earned him comparisons to club legend Steven Gerrard, who he happens to have a tattoo of. 

Liverpool’s 36-goal haul in the Premier League is bettered only by Manchester City and equalled only by Newcastle. 

Arsenal are the sole side who can match their defensive record of 15 goals conceded.
