Virgil van Dijk is the only Liverpool player who would force his way into Manchester United's 1999 treble-winning side, according to ex-Red Devils assistant coach Steve McClaren.
Netherlands captain Van Dijk has maintained the form that saw him finish second in last year's Ballon d'Or list, and has helped steer Jurgen klopp's side towards what looks set to be their maiden Premier League triumph, three decades after their last top-flight title.
Yet the 28-year-old is the only member of the current league leaders that would feature in their bitter rivals United's all-conquering team that completed a sweep of major honours at the end of the last century when former England manager McClaren was in the dugout at Old Trafford.
