According to The Guardian, the United supporters’ group 'The 1958' is planning demonstrations against The Glazers at Monday’s Premier League match.

This would be a repeat of last season's protests when the same group staged a demo at the Theatre of Dreams during their clash against Liverpool.

The incident led to the postponement of the clash, with Liverpool going on to win it 4-2.

However, Klopp believes it would only be fair that Liverpool are awarded all the points should the match be abandoned.

According to the German tactician, rearranging the fixture would be unfair for Liverpool as they have nothing to do with the Man United crisis.

“I really hope it will not happen but if it does happen I think we should get the points," Klopp was quoted saying.
