• Jurgen Klopp left fans confused after he declined to perform his trademark fist pump celebration at Anfield
• Liverpool had just mauled rivals Manchester United 7-0 and it was certain the Reds coach would be in high spirits
• However, the German tactician opted against celebrating as his charges stormed to a historic win over the Red Devils

Liverpool boss, Jurgen Klopp has disclosed why he did not perform his trademark fist pump celebration after his side's thrilling win over rivals, Manchester United.

The Reds, who have endured a frustrating run of form this term, were back at their best on March 5 when they condemned the Red Devils to a historic defeat at Anfield.

The Merseysiders put seven past a helpless Man United side to keep their Champions League hopes alive.

Cody Gakpo, Darwin Nunez, and Mohamed Salah netted a brace apiece, with Roberto Firmino also getting his name on the scoresheet to inspire Liverpool to a 7-0 win.

The victory sent the Reds' fanbase into a complete meltdown, with some taking to social media to mock United supporters.

Klopp refuses to celebrate

However, Klopp bizarrely declined to celebrate the momentous win over their arch-rivals.

According to Metro UK, the German coach traditionally celebrates such victories with Liverpool supporters by a series of fist pumps aimed towards the Kop or the away end when they are playing away matches.

Against United, the German tactician decided against this tradition.

When asked about it, Klopp told the BBC via Metro:

"Yes, it’s not [about being] louder, we have to keep going, just keep. I love that, but obviously I cannot do that after each game."

"But I appreciate it, there will be a moment when we achieve what we want to achieve this year, then we have enough time for fist pumps," he added.
