Liverpool legend: Van Dijk will turn off my Lukaku

Liverpool legend Dietmar Hamann said he believes Virgil van Dijk could dampen Manchester United's deadly bomber, Romelu Lukaku. He also predicted the duel of both top players would be fierce.

Saturday (10/03/2018), Manchester United will host Liverpool in the Premier League match at Old Trafford. In this fight, Van Dijk will clash with Lukaku.

Both have met several times in the Premier League. However, this is the first time they met using Liverpool and MU uniforms.

"I think Van Dijk can win a duel against my Lukaku He may be as tall as Lukaku, they are just as fast, and I do not think Van Dijk is afraid of a physical duel, you will not be able to keep my Luke from the game for 90 minutes, because he's too strong and too fast but I think Van Dijk will be ready for the challenge. "

"The less service you give to my Luke, or the less you can stop the people who serve the Lukaku, then that's better," Hamann said.

MU itself is now ranked second in the Premier League standings. The Red Devils are two points ahead of Liverpool who are below them.
