Going back in time to 2019, Van Dijk was regarded as the number one tough defender as statistics showed he never let an opponent pass a single dribble in 64 consecutive games.
Nonetheless, the Dutchman’s recent form has gone downhill. And as a result, the performance of the Reds last season was poor as well.
Until recently, on June 8, FBREF has opened the names of 5 defenders of the European leagues with the best statistics to stop dragging the ball of competitors, which appears that Aaron Wan-Bissaka, right-back, Manchester United team ranks No. 1. While Van Dyke, 31, is not in the top five.
Also second on the list is Napoli centre-half Kim Min Jae, 26, who has been linked with Red Devils boss Erik ten Hag wanting to sign him in order to sell Harry Mac. Guire, captain of the team to leave Old Trafford
