Jurgen Klopp finds signed contract of ‘new Man Utd signing’ who has never played professional match in his life

JURGEN KLOPP seemed confused to find a signed contract of Manchester United's newest "signing" on his desk during a press conference.

The Liverpool boss stumbled across the contract of a new signing when sitting down to talk to the press after Liverpool's FA Cup exit at the hands of the Red Devils earlier this month.

Klopp held up the contract with a bemused look on his face after seeing it laid out in the open, but all wasn't quite what it seemed.

The contract wasn't actually for a new signing for the club, but instead was a gesture for YouTube sensation and Man Utd fan IShowSpeed.

The internet star, who is known for his love of United and Cristiano Ronaldo, attended Old Trafford to get a tour of the stadium after hitting 24million subscribers on YouTube.

And with the club aware of his support they laid out the red carpet for the 19-year-old by inviting him into the press room and allowing him to sign a fake contract as if he had joined the Manchester giants.

The online celeb also got a tour of the dressing room, headed out pitchside and was presented with his own Man Utd shirt.

After his special moment it appears the club left the fake contact out on the table in the press room as journalist Gaz Drinkwater shared a photo of Klopp being the person to find it the next day.

IShowSpeed, whose real name is Darren Watkins Jr, has never actually played a professional game of football before.

Although he has twice taken part in the Sidemen charity football matches alongside his fellow YouTube stars.

And most recently he featured in a star-studded charity game in Qatar alongside names such as Eden Hazard and Didier Drogba.

However, he was hit with widespread criticism after the game for snapping Real Madrid and Brazil legend Kaka with a horror tackle during the match.
