It’s a strange handover from him.”Cody Gakpo looked like he had rescued his side a point 12 minutes from time, but Maguire secured United their first win at Anfield since 2016 when he headed home a ball into the box Bruno Fernandes.Speaking after the game, Van Dijk said: "I think we conceded a very sloppy second goal. We worked so hard to get back into the game and we created great opportunities to score the winner but if you concede a second goal like that, that is the disappointing part."If you look at the game as a whole, we were far too rushed.

There was plenty of football left to be played [and score] and we didn't."We need to stay humble and stay working and keep our confidence as high as possible.
