Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has raved about Fabinho on the club’s official website ahead of the Premier League match against Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United at Anfield in the Premier League on Sunday.
Klopp has said that Liverpool and Brazil international defensive midfielder Fabinho is back to his best.
The German has said that he was very impressed by the £180,000-a-week (SalarySport) star’s performance against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Anfield in midweek.
Liverpool got the better of Wolves 2-0.
Fabinho started the match in the middle of the park.

Klopp said about Fabinho getting back to his best: “He is. It’s obvious. When I spoke about it, it’s a bit strange when I say then, ‘Fabinho is not at his best’ it’s like, ‘Oh, he said it.’
“Everybody could see it so why should I not say the obvious stuff? Now everybody can see Fab is getting back; that’s exactly what we need obviously. We spoke a second ago about [Marcus] Rashford; OK, it’s a different position but things like this happen, you cannot explain it really, it’s just there, it happens.
“I was so happy about the last game of Fabinho, to be honest. So happy. Because so many things were exactly like we need him – bringing the long foot in here and all these kinds of things.
“It was a really good game and that’s exactly how we were used to having him; the lighthouse, the hoover, all these kinds of things. There’s a point when you take things just for granted, you lose the ball there, ‘Yeah, no problem, because there is Fabinho’ and we have the ball again.

“Of course you miss these kinds of things in moments when it’s not there and how can you be prepared for that? It’s now not cool and you don’t have five No.6s in the club or stuff like this.
“It was really, really good and I’m really happy for him and happy for us that he looks really like the old one again.”
