Liverpool legend criticized Roy Keane after a dispute with Virgil van Dijk following a goalless draw against Manchester United. The match ended without any goals despite Liverpool’s dominance.

Jurgen Klopp’s team controlled the game, but couldn’t score against the defensive tactics of their opponents.

Van Dijk expressed frustration, suggesting that only Liverpool aimed to win the game, seemingly taking a dig at Manchester United.

“We had most of the ball and created most of the opportunities. There was only one team trying to win,” he told Sky Sports.”Unfortunately it didn’t happen. That is why it is frustrating because we want to win every game. Especially when you play against a team like them.” During a discussion in the Sky Sports studio after Van Dijk’s statement, Keane criticized the Dutchman’s interview after the match.

He criticized the Liverpool captain, calling him ‘arrogant’ and ‘disrespectful’ during a passionate speech.

Phil Thompson, a legendary figure at Liverpool, has now joined the discussion between Keane and Van Dijk. He fiercely told Keane to ‘get a life’ and supported Van Dijk’s remarks.

“I don’t think he was arrogant, I just think he was giving his opinion,” said Thompson via the Mirror. “As Roy gives his opinion, as Gary [Neville] gives his opinion. It wasn’t arrogant by any means. I would say it was frustration.

“I really feel as though, you’ve come off that game, you now you’ve dominated, Manchester United have had that one chance with [Rasmus] Hojlund, and you’ve just felt frustration. Arrogance wasn’t in it.”The 69-year-old added: “And for Roy Keane to be talking about arrogance in people… come on, do me a favour.”And I love Roy… but I played that back and he just kept repeating the word. Roy, just get a life!”

Van Dijk’s frustration stems from Liverpool missing the opportunity to claim the top spot in the league. They currently hold second place with 38 points.

Meanwhile, Manchester United currently occupy the seventh position in the league table, having accumulated 28 points.
