Virgil van Dijk denies Roy Keane claim of 'arrogance' about Manchester United comments

Liverpool's Virgil van Dijk has denied Roy Keane's claim he was being arrogant in his comments about Manchester United after their goalless draw.

After Sunday's match at Anfield, Reds captain Van Dijk said "there was only one team trying to win the game".

Former United midfielder Keane, working as a Sky Sports pundit, said there was "arrogance coming out of him [Van Dijk], dissing United like that".

"I like Roy Keane, if he said that then it's fine," said Van Dijk.

"He is Manchester United throughout and I understand he could react like that but I felt what I said and there is absolutely no arrogance in that.
