Be worried about your casual defence, Liverpool coach told

Manchester United legend, Roy Keane has told Liverpool boss, Jurgen Klopp to be ‘worried’ about his team’s ‘casual’ defence.

Keane said an on-pitch argument between Virgil van Dijk and James Milner during Liverpool’s 2-1 defeat to Manchester United on Monday had more to it.

Erik ten Hag’s United gave Liverpool their first league defeat of 2022, with goals from Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford.

Van Dijk was seen rooted to the spot when United took the lead and could not stop Sancho after Milner had gone on ground to make a block.

Milner then berated Van Dijk in the aftermath during the first half.

And the former Red Devils’ captain Keane thinks this had more to it.

“I’d be worried if I was Klopp with what I’ve seen tonight,” the former United captain said on Sky Sports.

“Defensively [they were] very, very casual, going back to the Fulham game, Van Dijk even the other night against Palace, I thought he could’ve done better.

“Tonight, we made the point about him arguing with James Milner, I know that can happen but it just seemed a bit more than that, more than the normal falling out with a player.”
