According to TalkSPORT, the incident happened in the tunnel following the full-time whistle.
United worked hard to get a point on Merseyside, which greatly irritated Liverpool.
Against United’s six shots on goal, the hosts had an astounding 34.
And even when Diogo Dalot was sent out for disobedience late in the game, Erik ten Hag was still grinning at full time.
But after Liverpool lost their hold on top spot to Arsenal, who defeated Brighton 2-0 earlier today, following the final whistle, tensions flared.
After Unai Emery’s team secured a late victory at Brentford, the Reds are currently tied for second place with Aston Villa.
And according to reports, Liverpool captain Van Dijk could take no more of it.
As the players made their way to their respective locker rooms in the tunnel, the Dutchman is alleged to have approached United goalie Onana.
It’s said Following that, Van Dijk addressed his rival, saying, “Because of you, we only played a half-hour game.”
Onana is reported to have given the ideal answer, nevertheless.
Instead of responding to the comment, the Cameroonian celebrity just gave Van Dijk a quick smile before leaving.
The Liverpool star then lambasted United in some post-match remarks, according to Sky Sports:
“Unfortunately, there was just one team attempting to win the match.
“We were superior in all aspects, they were hoping to hurt us on the counter and they are buzzing with a point.”
Fans were unable to contain their comments over the alleged incident involving Onana.
There was one who exclaimed, “Someone’s annoyed!”
Someone another exclaimed, “My keeper.”
Someone said, “Van Dijk should blame himself for not scoring open headers.”
A second person said, “Rattled by United.”
The United legend Roy Keane, however, was not amused and stated: “There’s a lot of arrogance coming out of him, dissing Manchester United like that.
It’s important to remind him that the team he plays for has only won one championship in the last thirty or so years.
“Man United is facing a challenging situation. Similar like Liverpool, who faced hardships for a long time.
“So maybe that bit of arrogance backfired on him today.”
