Pieter Huistra, who worked with the Dutch defender at Groningen, believes the Reds centre-half is a more complete player than a Manchester United icon
Virgil van Dijk has “everything”, says former coach Pieter Huistra, with the Liverpool defender already better than Nemanja Vidic was and a serious contender for the 2019 Ballon d’Or.
The Netherlands international has enjoyed a meteoric rise to prominence over the last 18 months.
He was already established as a Premier League star during his days at Southampton, but a record-breaking £75 million ($95m) move to Anfield has seen Van Dijk join the global elite.
