An actually quite bad accusation against Ruud van Nistelrooij.
As is known, Ruud van Nistelrooij became Erik ten Hag‘s temporary successor this week, but if it is up to the British media, there is more in store for Van Nistelrooij. It is clear that Van Nistelrooij enjoys much more popularity than Ten Hag, who was fired last week. There has now been some discussion surrounding a comment by Ruud van Nistelrooij after the match between Manchester United and Leicester City.
The 5-2 victory was well received, but De Geffenaar was criticized for a hand gesture after the match between Manchester United and Leicester City. The interim head coach of Manchester United appeared in front of the camera after the 5-2 win over Leicester City in the English Cup and made a gesture. In the interview with ViaPlay, Van Nistelrooij made a so-called ‘L gesture’ into the camera ‘for someone sitting at home’. “Greetings there.”
‘For whom Van Nistelrooij intended the gesture, he did not say anything else. The ‘L gesture’ is universal for ‘Lozer’. Could he mean the fired Erik ten Hag?’ writes the medium Soccernews about the moment. That has more to do with a bad accusation than with reality because everyone knows that Ruud van Nistelrooij would never insult a colleague like that. In any case, the reactions are clear, as evidenced by the reports on social media below.
