Former Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho poked fun at Jurgen Klopp over his failure to pick up a first ever win at Old Trafford.

Liverpool salvaged a point late on but saw their perfect start to the season come to an end with a 1-1 draw.

The German manager has drawn four times and lost once away to rivals United since taking over as Liverpool boss in 2015.

A frustrated Klopp said after the game: "When we came here this year, last year and the year before they just defended, it’s not a criticism, it’s a fact."

It led to Mourinho taking a dig at his former rival in response, saying on Sky Sports: "Because he never beat Manchester United at Old Trafford. I think he didn't like the menu.

"He likes meat and he got fish, so he was not happy."

He continued: "They are of course much stronger playing against an opposition that gives them chances of transitions and counter attacks.

"Of course, United, with the limitations they have at this moment, they played a different type of game.

"They tried to be solid at the back, they tried to not give them a chance of transition, they kept always with three centre-backs in position plus McTominay and Fred who were always compact."

Asked what Liverpool were missing to break down their opponents, he added: "For me, quality as a team to play against a low block, which is sometimes a problem they have.

"They have a fantastic record of so many victories. But they have limitations against teams with low blocks. They can smash opponents that play the way they want to play against.

"Jurgen clearly has frustrations. It's a fantastic situation for his team. But at Old Trafford - which is a special place to win - he [Klopp] never did it."
