Virgil van Dijk has issued a warning to Liverpool’s title challengers, stating that he and his teammates are “not satisfied with just competing” after their 3-0 victory over Manchester United on Sunday.
The Reds dominated their fierce rivals at Old Trafford, with Luis Diaz netting twice and Mohamed Salah sealing the win, capitalising on several costly errors by Manchester United.
Under the guidance of Arne Slot, just three matches into the season, Liverpool sit at the top of the Premier League table, sharing the lead with maximum points. The team has scored seven goals and has yet to concede any.
Van Dijk Fires Warning to Liverpool Premier League Title Rivals
Virgil van Dijk, a key player throughout the Jurgen Klopp era, has been instrumental in Liverpool’s triumphs in the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, and EFL Cup under the German manager.
Despite having only one year remaining on his contract, Van Dijk shows no signs of slowing down.
In fact, he has issued a rallying call to Manchester City and Liverpool, the top two teams of the past two seasons, declaring that he and his teammates are firmly focused on reclaiming glory.
“It’s a proud moment. What pleased me the most was the performance from start to finish,” Van Dijk told Sky Sports (via BBC Sport).
“We want to enjoy ourselves out there and the only way to do that is with the hard work we put in. We dominated and should have scored more. Winning 3-0 is a big improvement from last year.
“We had to stay focused and we did very well. I’m very proud of the boys.
“Joshua Zirkzee plays now as a striker for them but I know he likes to drop and receive the ball to his feet. We know they like to do this passing in behind but we nullified it quickly. Our game plan worked. We kept patient.
“What Jurgen Klopp said in one of his last interviews is the new manager inherited a very good squad. The manager left but the players didn’t. We are not satisfied with just competing.
“We want to achieve greatness this season. I’m not competing in any competition just to compete, I want to win. We come up against a very good team in Man City and Arsenal.
“Our consistency is looking good, after the international break could be interesting when playing every three days. I’m certainly enjoying the ride.”
