Virgil van Dijk appeared to have some strong opinions regarding Kostas Tsimikas subsequent to their near-collision with Anthony Antony in the opening moments at Anfield.

On Sunday, Liverpool will host Manchester United in one of the most renowned rivalries in English football; both teams are vying for distinctly different objectives.

Last season, the Reds defeated Erik ten Hag’s squad 7-0 in this matchup, and the tension was palpable once more.

Lone Liverpool defender As the game progresses, Tsimikas is charged with maintaining the silence of Brazilian Antony, who was put to the test in the middle of the first half.

A defender blocked the United player’s pursuit of the ball towards the penalty area, causing it to exit the field of play.

Tsimikas and Antony then appeared to be engaged in a brief altercation, during which Antony reached for the billboard while raising his palms.

Nonetheless, his colleague defender Van Dijk appeared less than impressed by the former’s antics.

It appeared that he yelled at Tsimikas to remain composed in order to prevent any unwarranted reservations.

Darwin Nunez has already received a yellow card from referee Michael Oliver; Kobbie Mainoo and Sofyan Amrabat are also in the book.

Tsimikas has not yet been scheduled to play for Liverpool this season; Van Dijk will be eager for this to change, particularly in light of the upcoming match against United.
