Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk has rejected the claim that Sadio Mane ’s summer exit from the club has directly contributed to the side’s poor start to the new season.
The Reds languish in 11th in the Premier League standings having won just two out of their opening eight games of the campaign. That form has led to boss Jurgen Klopp ruling his side out of the race for the Premier League crown.
Many have been attempting to find a reason behind the Reds’ current malaise with some suggesting that Mane’s summer departure for German giants Bayern Munich has been a major contributing factor considering the stuttering form of Liverpool ’s attack.
