Roy Keane slams Virgil van Dijk
Manchester United legend Roy Keane called Virgil van Dijk “arrogant” for suggesting that only Liverpool tried to win their Premier League clash at Anfield. On Sunday, December 17, Manchester United managed to keep Liverpool attackers at bay in an impressive defensive performance to secure a 0-0, and with that, they earned a vital one point in the league standings.
“There's a lot of arrogance coming out of him, dissing Manchester United like that. He (Virgil van Dijk) needs reminding that he is playing for a club that has won one title in 30-odd years,” said Roy Keane.
