Borussia Dortmund boss Jurgen Klopp has reportedly backed out from the chance to take charge at Manchester United saying that his commitment to his club and the people is not breakable.

The German said that although United is a great club and he feels very familiar with their wonderful fans, his commitment to Dortmund and the people is not breakable.

According to the Guardian, speculations had widely suggested that Klopp would be one of the United board's preferred candidates to succeed David Moyes as manager.

However, Klopp has reportedly extended his contract at the Bundesliga side until October 2018 and said that he is still in love with his current club.

Klop, who joined Dortmund as boss in 2008, has led his young squad to two championships, one German FA Cup and an appearance at the Champions League final in Wembley last may, the report added.
