Virgil van Dijk tells Liverpool players the technique to adopt against Manchester United 

Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk believes a confident and aggressive approach against Manchester United could help the club return to the top four.

Three wins and one draw, accompanied by four clean sheets, mean Jurgen Klopp’s side go into Sunday’s meeting in a much better Premier League position than they did a month ago, when they lost 3-0 at Wolves.
United are the best team in form, with their 23 points accumulated after the World Cup more than any other team, even winning the Carabao Cup last weekend.

But Van Dijk is not afraid of the match at Anfield, saying: “It’s a bit of a match in itself. “It probably gets all the hype that comes with it and we’re the ones who are obviously not in great shape and they’re definitely in shape.

“But we know what we are capable of and we have to be at our best: the players, the fans and all the period that preceded us.
“Everyone should feel responsible for a good result. It’s not easy, it’s not easy for the fans, and you can get a little nervous sometimes, but we need everyone to stand behind us no matter what.

“We could have beaten them there [at Old Trafford in August] but of course we lost [2-1] and that’s the reality. But we have to be confident, we have to be aggressive and can’t wait because you want to perform and show what you can do.

“We will give everything and hopefully it will be a good match from us and we will continue to march towards our place in the Champions League.”

While Liverpool’s idea of ​​offering Diaz makes sense, there’s still a good chance Milan will reject the deal, given how valuable a Leao signing is, with a major European powerhouse potentially exceeding the winger’s asking price of 130 million pounds. even. during the summer.

DIAZ SWAP DEAL FOR LEAO COULD WORK IF LIVERPOOL IS IN YOUR SOLE INTEREST
