'He's scared and knows United are coming': United fans triggered by Van Dijk's Gakpo comment
Man United are reportedly interested in signing the Netherlands attacker Cody Gakpo.
Speaking after the Netherlands v USA game, Virgil van Dijk mocked the Red Devils' interest in the 23-year-old.
"Are Manchester United and Real Madrid the same level at this moment? No disrespect, not at all," Virg said.
The 'levels' remark by the Liverpool centre-back has clearly offended many United fans. Here are some salty comments from them:
Mohammed Yasser: "Someone show him the league table and ask him what level Liverpool are at right now😂😂😂"
Scott Patterson: "Talking like Liverpool haven’t already lost to United this season and aren’t below us in the table"
Sainath Murali: "Absolutely no disrespect towards VVD but 1 PL title in Premier League era and people are swarming to get his views… Pathetic!"
Fergie Time 876: "We haven't won the league in almost 10 years. Liverpool needed 2 to catch us and yet they still haven't. Let somebody else say this."
FC Mezzala: "Are Van Dijk and [Lisandro] Martinez the same level at this moment? No disrespect, not at all."
JasonBell83: "In other words he doesn't want to face Gakpo in the EPL, he is scared and knows United are coming"
Leonard Cooper: "Honestly, Leicester have achieved the exact same as him and he is acting like he knows levels."
Rightturnclyde: "Virgil needs to take a glance at the EPL table. He’s not currently one to throw shade."
