Liverpool captain said he was not being arrogant after the gameKeane: ‘He’s at a club that’s won the title once in 30-odd years’
Virgil van Dijk has said he was not being arrogant in dismissing Manchester United’s overly defensive display at Anfield in Sunday’s goalless draw.
The Liverpool captain provoked a response from former United midfielder Roy Keane when he said only one team played to win. Keane said the comments were arrogant and disrespectful, adding: “He needs a reminder himself; he’s playing for a club that have won the title once in 30-odd years.” Van Dijk insisted there was honesty but no arrogance in his words on a frustrating afternoon where Liverpool had 34 shots but failed to score for the first time since April.
