Gary Neville has claimed Manchester United defender, Victor Lindelof, would thrive in Liverpool alongside Virgil va Dijk.
Since joining the Red Devils, Lindelof has established himself as the most-frequent centre-half partner of Harry Maguire, the club's record signing from Leicester City.
However, despite their partnership, the 26-year-old has struggled, playing along with the English professional.
“Victor Lindelof’s problem is Harry Maguire and Harry Maguire’s problem is Victor Lindelof,” Neville told
Sky Sports.
“I think if you put Lindelof alongside Van Dijk at Liverpool… he’s a fantastic player, I think he’s a really good player.
“He understands the game, he reads the game, if he was alongside a Rio Ferdinand or a Virgil van Dijk, I think they would make a great pair.
“The problem is he’s alongside someone who isn’t the most mobile in Harry Maguire. That’s the problem he’s got because they’re going to find someone who can play alongside Maguire because they invested £80m in him.
“I actually think Lindelof is a really good player and if Liverpool were looking for a centre-back pairing, I think he would do a really good job at Liverpool alongside Virgil van Dijk.
“The problem is I don’t think he does a great job alongside Maguire because they both drop back and they’ve got to get up the pitch more.”
