Southampton is facing the difficult job of shielding Manchester United on Saturday afternoon.The Saints must deliver a top performance if they want to get points from the duel with manager José Mourinho’s team.Virgil van Dijk has been training with the first but Mauricio Pellegrino doesn’t know yet whether the Dutchman is going to start against United.
“We are going to decide on Friday, but every week Virgil is important to Virgil, because he’s getting better and better,”said the manager of Southampton at a press conference.Earlier this week Van Dijk made a strong impression in a match with the promise team against Stoke City (3-0), in which he took care of the 1-0,”After not having played a game for a long period of time, he now trains well again.That’s good news for us, because we need Virgil, just like any other player in our team”.

Van Dijk used a transfer last summer to Liverpool, but nowadays the defender is again fully focused on performing at Southampton, assures Pellegrino.Last week the stopper picked up a few minutes of play last week against Crystal Palace (0-1 win) as an alternative,”Virgil is an important player for us.I think he’ll get better every week, but we know he just has to keep training well.
