Ronald Koeman takes sharp dig at Liverpool star Ryan Gravenberch after journalist praises Dutch midfielder for his starring role in 3-0 drubbing of Man United

Netherlands manager Ronald Koeman has taken a fierce dig at Liverpool star Ryan Gravenberch despite the midfielder's starring role in his side's 3-0 drubbing of Manchester United.

The Dutchman, who traded Bayern Munich for Anfield last summer, has made a blistering start in the Premier League this season.

He has put in a string of dominant performances at the base of new boss Arne Slot's midfield and has played the full 90 minutes in each of the first three games.

The 22-year-old continued his excellent start to the campaign in Sunday's ruthless victory over bitter rivals United, making crucial defensive interventions while pushing the side forward with pinpoint passing.
