to Manchester United behind them when they face MK
Dons in the League Cup.
Southampton defender Virgil van Dijk has vowed that Ronald
Koeman's side will bounce back from their Premier League
defeat to Manchester United with a win over Milton Keynes
Dons in the League Cup.
United's big-money signing Anthony Martial scored a brace as
Louis van Gaal's men came from behind to beat Southampton
3-2 on Sunday in Van Dijk's home debut.
And the defender has pledged that Southampton will put that
disappointing display behind them when they travel to Stadium
MK on Wednesday for a third-round tie.
"I'm a winner and I want to win every game. Unfortunately it
didn't happen," Van Dijk told Southampton's website.
"The upcoming games are very important as well. It starts on
Wednesday, so we're going to bounce back.
"A couple of moments were disappointing for myself, and I'm
very critical of myself as well, so I want to do a lot better.
"I need to learn from this and take all the notes I need to take for
the next games."
MK Dons have struggle to adapt to life in the Championship so
far in 2015-16, recording just two wins.
Karl Robinson's side famously knocked Manchester United out
of this competition last term and former Southampton player
Ben Reeves is hoping a cup run will spark an upturn in their
league form.
"When the fixture first came out it was in my mind straight away
as one to get back for and hopefully I'll play a part in that game,"
the midfielder, who returned from injury in Saturday's loss to
Leeds United, told the club website.
"The most important thing for us is to do well in the league and
any cup run that we have would be a bonus."
