The report states Daragh Curley's mother Tricia was notified by the local post office in Glenswilly that there was a registered letter for her son. 

Jurgen Klopp's letter read, 'Unfortunately, on this occasion, I cannot grant your request, not through choice anyway. 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. Luckily for you, we have lost games in the past and we will lose games in the future because that is football.'

Jurgen Klopp surely won the hearts of many fans on social media with his uplifting reply to Manchester United's young Irish fan.

Coming back to football, Klopp's side endured a tough night in Madrid, losing to Atletico Madrid in the Champions League. The Reds will now be back to the Premier League this weekend, hosting West Ham United on Monday night (Tuesday IST).
