Rio Ferdinand explains what he 'didn't like' about Virgil van Dijk in Liverpool loss to Man United

Rio Ferdinand says he 'didn't like' what Virgil van Dijk did for Manchester United's opening goal against Liverpool on Monday night.

The Reds suffered their first league defeat of the season as their winless start continued at Old Trafford. Jadon Sancho opened the scoring in the first half for United, who had lost their opening two matches, before Marcus Rashford doubled their' lead shortly after the break. A late effort from Mohamed Salah could have spurred a comeback but Jurgen Klopp 's side were unable to find an equaliser in the closing stages of the game.

A criticism of Liverpool 's performance has centred around their defensive vulnerabilities. And after Sancho's goal, there was a heated exchange between Van Dijk and vice-captain James Milner.
