Jurgen Klopp was frustrated after his side's goalless draw against Manchester United

Jurgen Klopp has claimed his side are not bothered with what the media say after Liverpool's disappointing goalless draw with Manchester United.

Despite the majority predicting a routine home win, Liverpool could not convert their possession into goals. 

Klopp was frustrated with dropping points and hit back at predictions of a big Liverpool win. 

He told Sky Sports: "I think you [the media] overestimate your influence — we couldn't be bothered what you say. 

"It has nothing to do with what happens, we knew it would be difficult."

Klopp explained he thought his side were more dominant in this match than in the 7-0 win against United last term.

He said: "I saw a lot of good things, the one thing I don't like is the result. We should have scored. 

"We were in a rush in moments but I liked a lot the intensity of the game and the start to the game.

"Everyone saw what we wanted, our counter-pressing was good as a group and we didn't let them out. 

"I cant remember such a dominant performance against Man Utd — even the 7-0. Now it's 0-0 they probably feel slightly better than us. 

"But we take the point and keep going."

Liverpool captain Van Dijk also claimed there was "only one team trying to win the game". 

He said: "100% [we are frustrated].  If you see how we played the game, we had most of the ball and created some opportunities. 

"There was only one team trying to win the game.

"We want to win every game of course and that is why it is frustrating. Sometimes we shot too easy and could have passed on the overlap. 

"The right decision was sometimes lacking. 

"We carry on of course but it is frustrating because we were superior in all aspects. In the end they are buzzing with a point and we are disappointed with a point. 

"We should have won it today. We have to learn from certain situations and I know we will."
