Manchester United legend Gary Neville has singled out two of Liverpool’s most irreplaceable players after watching their convincing 3-0 win away to Leeds yesterday.

Van Dijk was badly missed by Liverpool last season, however, while Salah was one of the only players who really kept up his best form as the likes of Mane and Roberto Firmino let their high standards slip a little.
