James Milner was absolutely furious with Virgil van Dijk for Man United's opener against Liverpool
James Milner gave Virgil van Dijk an absolute earful following Manchester United's opener against Liverpool.
Jadon Sancho sat down Milner with a sublime piece of skill before slotting home to open the scoring at Old Trafford.
The camera then panned to Milner who was absolutely fuming at Van Dijk's positioning for the goal.
That composure 🤤

A third added: "James Milner so angry with Van Dijk and rightly so!!"

Speaking on BBC 5 Live Sport, he said: "Van Dijk is just stood with his arms behind his back. He literally stands there.
"Such strange defending."
