Fans gaan los op Van Dijk: ‘Beste van de wereld’

Harry Maguire kroonde zich afgelopen zomer tot de duurste verdediger aller tijden, maar de aankoop van Manchester United moest het zondagavond wel afleggen tegen Liverpool-rivaal Virgil van Dijk. Tijdens en na deze clash zijn de fans eensgezind: de Nederlander is momenteel met afstand de beste verdediger van de Premier League, en misschien zelfs wel de hele wereld!

Een greep uit de Twitter-reacties:

United fans have just had front row seats to a Virgil Van Dijk masterclass, yet they’ll still have the audacity to say the likes of Vidic and Rio come close

Virgil van Dijk is one of the very best centre backs to have played in this country. Don’t care about comparisons to anyone else, he is just immense, absolutely flawless, without any doubt the best in the world in his position by a distance. #LFC #LIVMUN

I know he usually always gets the recognition, but Virgil van Dijk didn’t put a foot wrong today. He was absolutely immense. The league has never seen a defender like him.

Out of this world.
