Sir Alex Ferguson : Jurgen Klopp appointment as Liverpool boss worries me... he has had a stellar rise to the top
Jurgen Klopp was unveiled as Liverpool's new manager on Friday morning
Sir Alex Ferguson says Klopp has attributes to be a success in England
Ferguson believes Liverpool should scrap their transfer committee
Former Manchester United chief Sir Alex Ferguson has said he is 'worried' about Jurgen Klopp's appointment as Liverpool's new manager.
Ferguson lavished praise on the German tactician following his move to the Premier League and revealed he has been left impressed with the 48-year-old whenever they have crossed paths.
Speaking in an exclusive with ESPN, Ferguson said of Klopp: 'Well it's a good appointment. I admire him. I know Jurgen pretty well through our meetings at [FIFA] coaches' classes in Geneva.
'Strong personality, very strong, very stubborn, determined and his performances, and his career at Dortmund was a stellar rise to the top and I think he'll do very well.
'I don't like saying that, being Liverpool, because I'm worried about it but, no, he'll do well.'
Ferguson went on to criticise Liverpool's decision to have a transfer committee as he believes managers should be trusted to bring in his own players.
He added: 'If you don't trust your manager, why have him there? You've got to trust your coach.
'Here's the man that should be deciding which kind of player he wants, the type of player, position he wants, his character he wants. It's the manager who knows more than anyone about what he needs as a coach.'
Klopp, however, said during his unveiling on Friday that Liverpool's transfer committee is 'not a problem' for him as he will have the final say on any outgoings and arrivals.
