Aston Villa star Douglas Luiz has hit back at Rio Ferdinand after the former Manchester United defender laughed at his goal celebration against the Reds.
Luiz performed a ridiculous shimmy in front of United defender Raphael Varane after scoring the equaliser in the Premier League clash on Sunday.
Thankfully, United secured all three points after a late winner from Scott McTominay to make it 2-1.
It was suggested that Luiz’s celebration might have fuelled a response from United on the day. Varane certainly let his feelings known to the Brazilian after the 88th minute winner.
Rio Ferdinand took to social media after the match and was quick to make fun of Luiz. He posted a picture of the celebration and wrote: “You okay?” alongside several laughing emojis.
Luiz has now replied, by writing: “I’m good, thanks. It’s just carnival time in Brazil.”
I’m good, thanks
it’s just carnaval time in Brazil 🇧🇷 https://t.co/ncErg0oMV2— Douglas Luiz (@dgoficial) February 12, 2024
