In a post-match interview with Sky Sports, Van Dijk attempted to explain the team's recent struggles. He stated, "I think we conceded a very sloppy second goal." He also acknowledged that the team worked hard to get back into the game but ultimately created few scoring opportunities.

Van Dijk attributed the team's loss to being too rushed and not being able to control the pace of the game. He praised Manchester United for their patient approach, not pressing high up the pitch but also not allowing Liverpool to maintain possession.

When asked about the team's future, Van Dijk emphasized the importance of unity and sticking together as a club, including the fans who want to see the team succeed.
