Sunday's 2-1 loss to United at Anfield was Liverpool's fourth straight defeat.
It left the Reds joint third in the Premier League, four points behind leaders Arsenal.
While Van Dijk acknowledged the mood was "low" at the club's Kirkby training ground on Monday, he said it was an opportunity for the squad to get together to speak openly about their recent form.
