Liverpool Defender Virgil van Dijk Insists They Need To Keep Manchester United Attackers Under Strict Watch

Virgil van Dijk says Liverpool are not fearing Manchester United but are aware of their potential attacking threat ahead of their much anticipated clash against United at the Anfield on Sunday.

The Reds come into the game with loads of confidence having sealed a spot in the last 16 of the Champions League with a win over Napoli while United hardly got anything right during their 2-1 defeat to Valencia.

Jurgen Klopp’s side are currently leading the Premier League table for the first time in the season and will have the chance to build up a healthy lead over Manchester City who are scheduled to face Everton.

A win over Liverpool will help the Red Devils to reduce their gap with the top five while a draw or loss would only widen the distance.

Van Dijk said, “You know what you’re going to face. We have pretty good pace as well, so we don’t have to be scared of anything, but we need to be aware of their danger.

“They have good players, especially up front, so we need to be ready for that, but other than that we need to play our game, make sure we are on top of that and to put them under pressure.”
