<\/p>\nThe 10-year-old Man United fan Daragh Curley must have been pinching himself after receiving a letter from Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp.<\/p>\n
The young lad from Donegal, Northern Ireland, was asked to write a letter as part of his school assignment.<\/p>\n
Daragh’s dad Gordon told BBC News NI that while most of his classmates were writing fan letters, Daragh instead decided to write a letter of complaint to the Liverpool boss.<\/p>\n
So he wrote a letter to Klopp, asking if it would be possible for Liverpool to lose some matches so they cannot win the league title.<\/p>\n
In the letter, Daragh who went to Glenswilly National School wrote:<\/p>\n
“Liverpool are winning too many games. If you win nine more games then you have the best unbeaten run in English football. Being a United fan that is very sad.<\/p>\n
“So the next time Liverpool play, please make them lose. You should just let the other team score. I hope I have convinced you to not win the league or any other match ever again.”<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In a shocking twist, his father said he gets a reply letter from Klopp.<\/p>\n
“My wife Tricia was up in the local post office and she was told that there was a registered letter there for Daragh Curley.<\/p>\n
“She was wondering who would be sending Daragh a registered letter, but when she mentioned it to Daragh he said ‘oh it’s Jurgen Klopp’.<\/p>\n
“And it actually was Jurgen Klopp.”<\/p>\n
In the letter, Klopp said he praised Daragh for his passion toward Man United, but he simply cannot disappoint Liverpool fans at this point.<\/p>\n
“As much as you want Liverpool to lose it is my job to do everything that I can to help Liverpool to win as there are millions of people around the world who want that to happen, so I really do not want to let them down.”<\/p>\n
“Luckily for you, we have lost games in the past and we will lose games in the future because that is football.<\/p>\n
“The problem is when you are 10 years old you think that things will always be as they are now but if there is one thing I can tell you as 52 years old it is that this most definitely isn’t the case.”<\/p>\n

Daragh’s father is surprised by such a humbling gesture from Klopp, despite coming as rivals.<\/p>\n
“I would be a Man United fan myself, it’s grating that Liverpool are doing so well, but behind it all you have to respect Klopp and what he’s done.<\/p>\n
“He came across as a nice guy all along, I suppose this letter really confirms to me that he is a decent, decent guy.<\/p>\n
“What I love about the letter is that it’s about sportsmanship and respect too and I think saying that to a 10-year-old is great.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
