Rasmus Hojlund mocks Kyle Walker with brutal Instagram put up after derby day bust-up
Manchester United star Rasmus Hojlund mocked Kyle Walker with a brutal Instagram post after the Red Devils stunned Manchester City on derby daty
Rasmus Hojlund has mocked Kyle Walker with a brutal Instagram post.
The pair almost came to blows during a tense Manchester derby, that saw Manchester United turn the game on its head thanks to a whirlwind final few minutes to the clash. However, before United, could stage the comeback, there were handbags between Walker and Hojlund.
And Hojlund took a shot at his rival on Instagram, saying: “Manchester is red. Violets are blue. What a brilliant performance. But the Oscar goes to…”
Hojlund wasn’t the only one left fuming at Walker, and Roy Keane demanded Anthony Taylor send the Englishman off at half-time. “Yeah, to Walker,” he said when asked if Taylor should have brandished a red card.
“You don’t mind a bit of this, this is going to happen in a game, a bit of angry bargy, of course. He’s obviously been blocked, but Walker.. of course it’s a foul and a free-kick and Hojlund’s not happy and that’s fine.
“But he then goes over, how can Walker [go down]? He must be embarrassed. He must be embarrassed to go down like that. An experienced player, this isn’t contact. Look at this! I don’t know the guy and I’m embarrassed for him.”
And after fellow Sky Sports pundit, and ex-Man City defender, Micah Richards insisted Walker is ‘better’ than that, an unconvinced Keane responded: “Is he? I’m not so sure.”
Gary Neville was also less than impressed: “‘I did this in a derby against McManaman many years ago and got sent off for it,” Neville said. “It’s whether he’s made that rock of his head forward.
“Walker’s pushed him over and tripped him. I’m not sure, no. It’s poor from Walker, the initial contact he doesn’t go down on. He’ll be a little bit embarrassed when he sees that back.”
