Roy Keane has accused Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk of \u2018disrespecting\u2019 Manchester United. The Red Devils played out a 0-0 draw with their fierce rivals at Anfield on Sunday afternoon, with the most significant moment in the match coming late on when Diogo Dalot was shown two yellow cards for dissent.<\/p>\n

Liverpool dominated possession during the match but failed to create many clear-cut chances and wasting numerous openings to try and unlock the United defence \u2013 who battled valiantly for 90 minutes. Speaking after the game, Van Dijk claimed that his side were the only team trying to clinch all three points, explaining: \u201cThey\u2019re (United) not in the best phase right now so coming here, you\u2019re wary of the threat we have.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut we should\u2019ve won it today and that\u2019s the disappointing thing. We can\u2019t dwell on it though, we have big games coming up. If you see how we played the game, we had most of the ball, created the most opportunities and there was only one team that was trying to win the game and unfortunately that didn\u2019t happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, Van Dijk\u2019s comments didn\u2019t sit well with Sky Sports pundit Keane, who made 326 appearances for the Red Devils in his career and is widely regarded as one of their most influential captains. The ex-Ipswich boss fumed at the comments, feeling that Van Dijk was speaking disrespectfully about his former side.<\/p>\n

He raged: \u201cIt is a missed opportunity for them, yes, and we heard Van Dijk speaking there – a bit of arrogance from Van Dijk dissing United, he needs to remind himself he\u2019s playing for a club that\u2019s won one title in 30 odd years.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe said one team wanted to win, like Man United aren\u2019t in a difficult place! Liverpool were in a difficult place for many years before this, maybe that arrogance backfired on him today. <\/b>That\u2019s arrogance, he said Man United were buzzing. United had one or two chances that they could\u2019ve taken but players like him need a reminder that they\u2019re playing for clubs like Liverpool that aren\u2019t this or that. I wouldn\u2019t be disrespecting clubs like he is.\u201d<\/p>\n
