Paul Ince Says Virgil van Dijk Can Be 'Liverpool's Eric Cantona' as Reds Look to Win Trophies

Former Liverpool and Manchester United player Paul Ince has claimed that Virgil van Dijk has the potential to be just what Liverpool needed to start winning trophies, just as Eric Cantona was at United.

Cantona is often seen as one of Sir Alex Ferguson's best ever signings for United, as he became one of the most influential players the club has ever seen in his relatively brief stay at Old Trafford.

The Frenchman helped United on their way to creating a stronghold on the Premier League that last well over ten years, and is considered one of the best players to grace the English top flight.
