Liverpool fans laud Virgil van Dijk as video of Reds captain treating Man United rivals with 'contempt and disdain' goes viral after crushing Old Trafford win

Liverpool fans have hailed Virgil van Dijk following a viral video of him treating Manchester United players with 'contempt and disdain'.

Arne Slot's side took a resounding 3-0 victory at Old Trafford thanks to a brace from Luis Diaz and a strike from Mohamed Salah.

Reds captain Van Dijk revelled in Liverpool's smashing of their bitter rivals and was involved in a number of incidents with United players throughout the game.

The first came when Andre Onana gave Van Dijk a cheeky elbow in the stomach, to which the defender playfully mocked the United goalkeeper as if he had hurt him.
