The Reds are out for revenge in the first leg of the last-16 encounter at Anfield, with Louis van Gaal’s men winning the previous four meetings between the sides.
Liverpool have never suffered five successive defeats against their greatest rivals and will want to ensure that remains the case at the final whistle on their own turf.
Klopp has already sampled disappointment against United as Wayne Rooney scored the only goal of a game the Reds dominated back in January.
And this time around, the manager wants Van Gaal to be left dejected at full time. "I don’t believe in enemies in football, to be honest. I believe in real, real, real opponents and I like this,” Klopp said.
"I have absolutely no problem with Louis van Gaal but the last thing I want is that he wins in a game like this.
“Games like this are the mother of all football games.
"It was a difficult situation [for United] and maybe they're not completely through but we want to make their problems bigger.
"At the end I’m pleased for him that he has changed it a bit but he has changed enough I would say, and we can win again, we don’t have to be sorry for Manchester United."
