Virgil van Dijk believes there is only one team trying to win at Anfield. Makes United legend Roy Keane see red.
-We had the ball most of the time and created some chances. It was just a team trying to win the game, the Liverpool captain said after the match according to the BBC.
The actual match between Liverpool and Manchester United was a shock to those who were hoping for many goals to be scored.
Manchester United defended well and conceded little. Rasmus Hoglund could have decided the game for the visitors, but Alisson stopped him in the Liverpool cage.
– It is frustrating because we were superior in all areas. “In the end, they are very happy with one point and we are disappointed with the same point,” says Van Dijk.
In the studio at Sky Sports sat the former Manchester United captain and Roy Keane. He responds to the Liverpool goalkeeper’s statements.
Virgil van Dijk exudes arrogance when he slaughters Manchester United in this way. He needs a reminder. Keane says he himself plays for a team that has won one title for 30 years.
– He says that only one team wanted to win and that United are very happy with one point. United are in a difficult situation, as Liverpool have been for many years. Maybe some of that arrogance backfired on him today, Ken says.
Erik ten Hag, the hard-pressed Manchester United manager, has received a long-awaited improvement. He believes his team defended “almost perfectly”.
– It was a very good performance. You saw Liverpool’s results at home and we did not concede any goals. In the second half we created some very good chances. So we can take the three points with us. But we are satisfied with the situation, says Ten Hag.
Another United hero, Gary Neville, is in tune with the atmosphere at Anfield.
– The atmosphere at Anfield was the worst I have ever experienced at Anfield in a match against Manchester United. I think there was probably a lot of confidence before the game. Neville says fans wear Christmas jumpers that say ‘7-0’ and things like that.
