Virgil van Dijk and Wayne Rooney came face-to-face in a tense live interview just days after their dispute about the Man United legend's criticism of Liverpool.

Rooney had taken umbrage with Van Dijk and Mohamed Salah’s way of leading the team during their recent slump in form and said their mannerisms were a ‘big concern’.

The Liverpool skipper then hit back after steering his side to Saturday night's 2-0 win over Aston Villa, calling the criticism 'lazy'.

And on Tuesday evening after Liverpool overcame Real Madrid 1-0 with a superb home performance, the Dutchman was interviewed on Amazon Prime during the live post-game broadcast on which Rooney was a pundit alongside him.
