Jamie Carragher and Neville discuss £75m fee on Twitter
Now a pundit on Sky Sports, Carragher's opinion is widely respected by fans of all Premier League clubs.
Manchester United legend Gary Neville tweeted his fellow pundit, asking whether he thought the record-breaking £75m transfer was "good value".
Carragher's savage response
Signed for £35m from Benfica in the summer, Victor Lindelof has struggled to settle in the Manchester United backline.
The Swedish defender has started only five Premier League games and Carragher clearly isn't too impressed.
Neville evidently did not appreciate Carragher's response.
Van Dijk will begin attempting to prove his tag as 'the world's most expensive defender' when Klopp's side face Everton in the FA Cup 3rd round next weekend.
He has started 11 Premier League games so far this season and is expected to replace Dejan Lovren in the first XI.
