Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk admitted Jurgen Klopp's side would not take their convincing 7-0 win over Manchester United for granted, but insisted the Merseyside outfit would quickly move on.

The home side scored six times without reply in the second half to condemn United to their heaviest defeat since Boxing Day 1931.

It was Cody Gakpo, who was previously on United's transfer radar, who gave the Merseyside outfit the lead in the clash. Darwin Nunez doubled the home side's lead just two minutes after the interval, before Gakpo netted his second to make it 3-0.

Shortly after that, Mohamed Salah got in on the act to smash a thunderous effort past David de Gea to make it 4-0 to Liverpool.
