Virgil van Dijk has explained how Liverpool's players were surprised by how "easy and simple" it was to beat Manchester United at Old Trafford earlier on this season.

The Reds ran riot at the home of their most fierce rivals and battered United 5-0 on their own patch in what was one of the lowest afternoons of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's reign and United's recent history. Jurgen Klopp's men were 4-0 up before the half-time whistle had blown, by which time plenty of the home faithful had already headed for the exit.
