Man Utd great Scholes backing Dortmund's Klopp to be Premier League success

Paul Scholes believes Jurgen Klopp would achieve plenty of success as a Premier League manager.

The 47-year old announced this week that he is set to leave his post at Borussia Dortmund in the summer and what is German football's loss could be English football's gain according to ex-Manchester United ace Scholes.

'There is no doubt in my mind that he would be a success in English football, the only question is at which club,' Scholes wrote in his column for the London Evening Standard.

'Klopp has the personality to do it here. He has bought good players in the past. He does not seem to worry about what is written or said about him.

'He has been able to handle the constant departures of his best players, many of them to Bayern Munich, over the years - up until this point. The Premier League should not hold any fears for him.'

Klopp, who has been at the helm at Dortmund since 2008, has already been linked with the Manchester City job as he prepares for the next chapter of his managerial career.
