The 46-year-old Borussia Dortmund coach had been among the leading candidates to replace David Moyes, who was sacked by United on Tuesday.
"I find it a little uncomfortable having to turn somebody down without them making an enquiry," Klopp said.
"But it seems like I have got to do it anyway. There are about 1,000 reasons why I'm so happy to be working here.
Klopp has won the Bundesliga title twice
with Dortmund since he replaced Thomas Doll as manager in 2008. He also
guided them to
last season's Champions League final,
in which they lost to Bayern Munich.
He has also been linked with a move to Barcelona next season, but says "nobody has to have any concerns" about him breaking his deal with Dortmund.
Netherlands coach Louis Van Gaal, Atletico Madrid's manager Diego Simeone and Paris St-Germain's former United defender Laurent Blanc have also been tipped as possible successors to Moyes.
