Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk has pushed back against criticism of their training regime following Sunday’s 3-2 Premier League defeat at Manchester United, amid scrutiny on social media over the players’ time off.
Arne Slot’s side suffered their 18th defeat in all competitions this season, leaving champions Liverpool fourth in the table on 58 points with three matches remaining despite spending around 446 million pounds ($603.84 million) to improve the squad.
