'Roy, just get a life' - Thompson weighs in on Keane's Van Dijk remarks
Phil Thompson has weighed in on Roy Keane's remarks regarding Virgil van Dijk's post-Liverpool v Man United press conference.
Anfield legend Thompson refuted Keane's claims that Van Dijk was arrogant in his comments after Liverpool's nil-all draw with their old rivals on Sunday.
Speaking on Sky Sports on Sunday evening, Keane called Van Dijk's “only one team trying to win the game” and "buzzing with a point” comments into question, noting the arrogance he felt the Dutchman was showing.
“There’s a lot of arrogance coming out of him, dissing Man United like that," Keane said. "He needs reminding that he is playing for a club that has won one title in thirty-odd years.
“Man United are in a difficult place like Liverpool have been in a difficult place for a number of years.”
Thompson, while also noting his fondness for Keane, was not best pleased with the Cork native's view.
Thompson told talkSPORT: “I don’t think he was arrogant, I think he was giving his opinion, as Roy gives his opinion, as Gabby [Agbonlahor] gives his opinion. It wasn’t arrogant by any means, I would say it was frustration.
“Roy, just get a life!”
