Manchester United vs Liverpool: Combined XI

Centre Backs

Crvena Zvezda v Liverpool - UEFA Champions League Group C

When talking about centrebacks, the first name which pops up is of Virgil Van Dijk. The towering Dutchman has been one of the best players for Liverpool and rightly deserves his place in this combined XI. What does set Van Dijk apart from his fellow peers is his ability to be involved in the game with his accurate passing, ability to score an unstoppable header and most importantly being at right place at the right time.

Van Dijk is deservingly named amongst the top centrebacks in the world and Klopp relies on the big Dutchman with his hopes of securing the Premier League title.

Van Dijk is accompanied by Victor Lindelof, the Manchester United centre-back who has arguably been the best defender for the Red Devils this season.

The Swedish has been rock solid this term and has been a regular starter for Manchester United in all competitions. Lindelof did have a hard time at first at the club when he moved from Benfica but now that the Swede is set at his new club, the world is witnessing the best of Lindelof.
