Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has rejected the opportunity to be drawn into a war of words with Jose Mourinho over spending power.

Klopp had previously questioned the logic of investing a large sum of money on one player just as Manchester United were close to completing the £89.3 million transfer of Paul Pogba.

Those comments prompted Mourinho to hit back and claim that those criticising the move will never be in the position to spend a world-record fee.

However, Klopp refused to provide a response to the United manager and revealed he is more than satisfied with the backing he receives from his owners, Fenway Sports Group, after welcoming seven new faces to Anfield this summer.

"I'm absolutely not interested in what other clubs are doing, there's completely no point," the German, who begins his first full season in charge of the Reds on Sunday away at Arsenal, said. "I'm focused on here. I cannot criticise what they are doing, I don't want to criticise the market.
