The draw leaves Liverpool six points clear at the top of the table ahead of last season's champions Manchester City.
However, when asked if Sunday was a good result for the Reds, Klopp was quick to downplay the importance of the point - aiming a jibe at United's defensive tactics.
Klopp told Sky Sports: 'It's just a point. When I've been in England, Man United have pretty much set up like this. Everyone built it up (the game) like a mountain, but one team set out to defend and one team made the game. We didn't lose anything, it's just a point. Let's carry on.'
But following Klopp's comments, former United manager Jose Mourinho - who was in charge at Old Trafford between 2016-2018 - hit back at the Liverpool manager.
Mourinho said: 'He didn't like the menu. He likes meat and got fish, so of course he's not happy.
'United with the limitations they have played a different profile of performance. They were always compact.'
The draw ensured that Chelsea's record of winning their first nine Premier League games in the 2005-06 season, remains in tact.
And Mourinho, who was in charge of the Blues during that title-winning campaign, has admitted his relief at Liverpool not breaking his record.
When asked what went wrong for Liverpool on Sunday, Mourinho replied: 'Quality of the team to play against a low block, which is a sometimes a problem they have.
'I'm really happy they didn't win because the other record is mine, not theirs. Jurgen clearly has a little bit of frustration. At Old Trafford, which is a special place for Liverpool to win, he never did it.'
