Van Dijk revels in pressure of Liverpool's enduring feud with Man Utd

New Indian Express  

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM: Virgil van Dijk says the intensity of Liverpool's bitter rivalry with Manchester United will make Sunday's FA Cup quarter-final a major test for his quadruple chasers. Having beaten Chelsea in the League Cup final, Klopp's side are embroiled in a gripping Premier League title race with Arsenal and Manchester City, and also face Atalanta in the Europa League quarter-finals. With Liverpool targeting a trophy clean-sweep and United hoping to preserve their last chance of silverware this season, the stage is set for the latest chapter in English football's most historic feud. But despite that change in the balance of power, Liverpool captain Van Dijk believes meetings with United still require a unique level of commitment.
