Roy Keane picks Virgil Van Dijk as only Liverpool player to get into the Man Utd 1999 treble-winning side – The Sun

ROY KEANE believes Virgil van Dijk would be the only current Liverpool star to break into Manchester United's treble-winning side.

The former midfielder, 48, played an integral part in Sir Alex Ferguson's side that won the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League in 1998/99.

And with the Reds marching towards a maiden Premier League title – and their fair share of records along the way – he reckons Van Dijk is the single player who could improve that team.

Keane and Jamie Carragher selected their combined XIs on Monday Night Football and certainly had a few differing opinions – but did at least agree on Van Dijk replacing Ronny Johnsen.

Carragher said: "I don't think it's a big decision, put Van Dijk in next to [Jaap] Stam. But who's the best out of those two?"

Keane concurred: "I'm a big fan of Van Dijk. The guy's a machine, but Jaap was a machine, Jaap was fantastic.

"Van Dijk [has] a touch better on the ball. The two of them together you can't imagine conceding too many goals."
