Van Dijk ignores Zirkzee after Liverpool’s win over Man United

Liverpool’s Virgil van Dijk appeared to give Man United’s Joshua Zirkzee the cold shoulder during an awkward moment while the pair were on international duty.

Netherlands began their Nations League campaign with a 5-2 victory over Bosnia and Herzogovina on Saturday.

Van Dijk captained his side and fans have picked up on something that happened in the tunnel before both sides made their way out on to the pitch. 

The centre-back was seen shaking hands will all of his team-mates but chose to side-step Zirkzee.

Neither man did so much as glance at the other and some have suggested that this is because of their club rivalry. 

The international match came six days after Liverpool demolished United at Old Trafford in the Premier League. 

Van Dijk also captains Liverpool while Zirkzee signed for United in the summer.

Both men started the big game at Old Trafford but only Van Dijk will have headed home happy.

However, any suggestions of serious tension between the spell were dismissed as they were seen hugging after Zirkzee opened the scoring.
