“He actually said that to Rio Ferdinand. That was Crazy”-Douglas Luiz fires back at Rio Ferdinand after he mocked him for celebration vs Man Utd, he’s explained it

Douglas Luiz has fired back at Rio Ferdinand following the latter’s ridicule of the Aston Villa midfielder’s celebration during their recent Premier League showdown with Manchester United. Luiz’s cheeky ‘shoulder shimmy’ after scoring reportedly rubbed Raphael Varane the wrong way, prompting a confrontation after United’s last-minute winning goal. Ferdinand wasted no time taking a jab at Luiz on social media, but Luiz explained it as simply embracing Brazil’s festive spirit.

In response to the controversy, United’s manager, Erik ten Hag, suggested that Luiz’s celebration might have spurred his team to clinch the victory. However, ten Hag remained focused on his team’s performance, labeling the win as pivotal in their quest for a Champions League berth. He stressed the importance of maintaining a positive mindset and continuous improvement moving forward.
