Rooney slams Liverpool captain Van Dijk: Just get on with it!

Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney slammed Virgil van Dijk after Liverpool's defeat at Everton.

Rooney was unimpressed by Van Dijk complaining after Saturday's 12:30pm kickoff against West Ham.

Rooney said on Sky Sports: “The worrying thing there is – and I think it's happened a lot throughout the season as well – again we are hearing about 12:30 kick-offs after he's just lost a derby.

“He should be wanting, and that Liverpool team should be wanting, to be on the pitch tomorrow morning to get the next game going, because when you lose, especially in a derby, you want the next game to come quick.

“We've heard it so many times this season with Liverpool about 12:30 kick-offs. Get on with it. That's part of your job. He should be ready to play."
