Liverpool's Virgil van Dijk issues '£80m star' Harry Maguire a warning
Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk has issued a warning for Harry Maguire, the most expensive defender in the world. The former record holder said that Maguire must learn to handle the pressure that comes with that tag, after the former Leicester City man was unveiled as a Manchester United player.
By shelling out a fee of £80m for Harry Maguire, not including add-ons, Manchester United shattered the transfer record that Virgil Van Dijk once held. But the Dutch international has revealed that Maguire will have to learn to play through the pressure. That is something that Van Dijk did very well last season, playing a big role as his side to won the Champions League trophy and is currently being considered for the Ballon d’Or.
Van Dijk went on to say, "The price comes with pressure but it doesn't change too much because you always have pressure at big clubs like Man United. It's not easy to completely shut off all the pressure. Quite a lot of things are more important than playing football. You need to enjoy it but the pressure will always be there.
"Just focus on doing what you love to do and play your best game. Get your qualities out on the pitch, enjoy your game and don't think about the other things,” he further added. If opponents have a go during the game because you cost that much, what can you do? I'm not listening to them. It does not change anything in my head."
The Red Devil’s disastrous 2018/19 campaign saw them conceding 54 goals, the highest amongst the top six, more than Crystal Palace and Newcastle. This highlighted the fact that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer needed to give his defence a makeover. The Red Devils boss has done just that by bringing in Aaron wan Bissaka from Crystal Palace and Maguire in the hope of changing their luck.
