Klopp astounded by Shaqiri breathtaking bicycle kick as he admits his debut is 'not normal' in the 4-1 rout of Manchester United.

Xherdan Shaqiri scored against Manchester United with a breathtaking bicycle kick

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said Xherdan Shaqiri's debut was "not normal" after the new signing scored a stunning bicycle kick in the 4-1 rout of Manchester United.

The £13million signing from Stoke City scored with a breathtaking fashion in Michigan, where Liverpool ended their International Champions Cup campaign with a resounding victory over their bitter rival.

Shaqiri only trained with his new team-mates for the first time on Wednesday, but flourished in to an advanced central midfield role after coming off the bench for the second half.

Before scoring himself, Shaqiri also created the Reds' second goal for Daniel Sturridge.

Reflecting on Shaqiri's Liverpool bow, Klopp told reporters: "It was good obviously. That's not normal after four days in the club - adapting that well to the style of play.

“We wanted to help him a little bit with the position so that it's not too complicated, gave him a lot of freedom, offensively playing natural, plus offering runs in behind, which is what he did, especially around the Sturridge goal.

“It was better than I would have expected, to be honest. I think today it was a game where it was quite easy to come in for pretty much all of them because we played over 90 minutes of really good football on a very difficult pitch for both teams.

“We still played simple and quick, kept them moving. After the Dortmund game, I didn't feel really good but I knew I don't have to make it bigger than it is.

“It's a pre-season game so if you make mistakes you should lose - if you learn from it that's okay. Today we don't make it bigger of course

“For Shaq, in the moment he signed he wanted to stay immediately at Liverpool and train with us. I think it was a week after he finished the World Cup, so I said: 'No, no, no. Go!'

“He came back a few days ago and he was really excited. For him it was very good moment in his career, having already had a real experience at Bayern, at Stoke, at Inter.

"Those were important moments in his career and now we have him and he can now play together with a few really nice football players.”
