This £30m rated international must snub Liverpool for Man United, here’s why

Link up with fellow Dutchmen

United have a history with Dutch players – think Van Persie and Van Nistelrooy. The current crop at Old Trafford could help aid the settling-in process, allowing Van Dijk to hit the ground running.

Van Dijk will know Daley Blind and Memphis Depay well having played and trained alongside them whilst on international duty.

If the 25-year-old is made to feel comfortable in Manchester he could be a rock at the back for the this season, driving them toward the Champions League places, and who knows maybe even title glory.
