Liverpool star Virgil van Dijk can NOT be compared to world-beater Alan Hansen, says Anfield legend Ian Rush
Virgil van Dijk still has a long way to go to be compared to Liverpool legend Alan Hansen, according to Ian Rush.The Dutch centre-back has been a revelation at Anfield and has completely turned around the Reds defensive fortunes since his 75million arrival in January.3

Liverpool’s defence has improved immensely with the addition of Van Dijk

Van Dijk has been hailed as the best defender in the Premier League by John Barnes, and Jamie Carragher even claimed back in August that he could be remembered like Alan Hansen.However, club record goalscorer Rush believes he cannot be compared with the three-time European Cup winner and eight-time Division One champion.Asked how Van Dijk compares the Reds hero Hansen, Rush told the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast: Well, hes still got a long way to go, for me.If Alan Hansen would be playing football today, hed be an absolute world-beater.3

Even in our day, he never tackled anyone, but on the ball he was absolutely unbelievable.He was like a midfielder.I think Van Dijk and Joe Gomez could be absolutely incredible.But whoever plays with Van Dijk plays well – Lovren, Matip – Van Dijk organises the defence and helps them all round. Thats how good he has been.3
