Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk denies Keane 'arrogance' claim

Liverpool's Virgil van Dijk fired back at Manchester United legend Roy Keane this week.

Van Dijk claimed after the two teams played out a 0-0 draw that only his side were trying to win the game.

However, Keane responded on Sky Sports, stating that Van Dijk was showing arrogance, given the Reds have only won a single league title in recent memory.

"I like Roy Keane, if he said that then it's fine," said Van Dijk when asked about those comments from Keane.

"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.

"Everyone who watched the game probably felt the same. We move on. We had the opportunity and we couldn't score and that's the frustrating part."
