Mourinho recently told Pogba that he would never captain Man United again in the latest storyline of the pair's souring relationship.

The question of his relationship with his players was put to Klopp during a news conference on Tuesday to preview Liverpool's Champions League group-stage match at Napoli, but he believed an answer to it could easily be constructed as his view on the current events at Old Trafford.

"I'm not as smart as Carlo Ancelotti, but I'm smart enough to not answer this question in these times," he said.

"Because we all know what you all would make of all the things I could say about this. That's why I will not answer the question."
