Jurgen Klopp is said to have rejected Manchester United twice (Image: PA)

Jurgen Klopp has revealed that he never seriously considered taking over at Manchester United because he had unfinished business with Borussia Dortmund.

Moyes was handpicked by Ferguson to take over after his 26-year tenure, yet the iconic boss had also expressed interest in Jurgen Klopp.

The former Liverpool boss made a name for himself with his dynamic 'heavy metal' football at Borussia Dortmund, clinching two Bundesliga titles, and was not ready to walk away from a project brimming with potential.

"I didn't hear about a real offer.

"We spoke," Klopp said of their conversation.

"We spoke not a lot, but, for me, it was a lot.

Not in my life."

Despite not being swayed by Sir Alex Ferguson's interest, Klopp expressed immense respect for the legendary manager: "It's a big honour to talk to Sir Alex.

While David Moyes grappled with the 'impossible job' at Old Trafford, Klopp faced the equally tough challenge of trying to dethrone Bayern Munich after their historic treble.

They managed to beat Bayern in the season-opening Super Cup, but once again found themselves second to Bayern in the league and the German Cup.

Despite the challenges, United remained interested.

Klopp wasn't entirely convinced by that sales pitch-he found it a bit 'unsexy', he told a friend-but he didn't dismiss the proposition out of hand either."

United still harboured hopes of enticing Klopp to Manchester, but the more he pondered it, the more he yearned to conclude his time at Dortmund on a high note.
