Virgil van Dijk’s comments on Manchester United have triggered some turbid responses from experts. In a historic battle, what was known to be fierce in the past has become quite tilted. It wasn’t clear if people were expecting Liverpool to excel or praising Manchester United for surviving. In a fresh podcast, a former Scottish player turned pundit blasted Virgil van Dijk for calling out Manchester United.

The Dutch defender, known as one of the most stubborn defenders in the Premier League, was left frustrated after yesterday’s result. Manchester United came into their den and sneaked a point, which led to the soccer star lashing out at the Red Devils. It backfired when experts called his comments naive.

Ally McCoist blasts Virgil van Dijk!

After the game, Virgil Van Dijk clearly expressed frustration by saying that Manchester United was very defensive. But according to Ally McCoist, United did the right thing, which allowed them to escape a humiliating defeat. Speaking on talkSPORT, McCoist stated, “Would they rather get attacked and end up getting beaten three or four, or are they happy with the point? I think I’m pragmatic about it.” “He’s obviously frustrated, but I mean, it’s a naive comment to make.”

The Reds were the clear favorites ahead of the clash, but fans cannot underestimate a Northwest Derby. Manchester United had a solid defensive performance, which did not go well with van Dijk. The Liverpool captain said that Liverpool was the only team with a winning attitude in the game. However, McCoist applauded Eric ten Hag for going with his strength.
