'I'm still in favour of 4-3-3': Liverpool star Virgil van Dijk questions the tactics of Holland boss Louis van Gaal... despite featuring in win over Denmark as they continue an eight-match unbeaten run under the former Manchester United manager

Virgil van Dijk admits he thinks Holland are playing the wrong formation under Louis van Gaal, despite playing the full 90 minutes in his side's 4-2 win over Denmark on Saturday.

The Liverpool defender featured centrally in a back-three as Oranje lined up in Van Gaal's favoured 3-4-1-2 system during the triumph at the Johan Cruyff Arena in Amsterdam.

The friendly was most notable for Christian Eriksen scoring with his first touch in a Denmark shirt since his horrific on-pitch cardiac arrest at last summer's European Championship.

Yet victory ensured Holland remained unbeaten under the former Manchester United manager who is in his third spell as national team coach following runs between 2000 and 2001 as well as 2012 to 2014.
