Ruud van Nistelrooy Blasts Referee After Controversial Man United Winner
Ruud van Nistelrooy was left furious after his team suffered a controversial defeat against Manchester United at Old Trafford. The former striker believes the referee played a major role in deciding the outcome, specifically criticizing an offside decision that led to Unitedโs winning goal.
โWe lost because the referee can’t call an offside! Itโs shameful that a club like Manchester United couldnโt beat Leicester fairly at Old Trafford. If not for the refereeโs bias, we could have easily won,โ Van Nistelrooy stated angrily.
According to him, there were two suspicious incidents during the game that heavily favored the home side. Convinced of unfair play, he has already reported these incidents to the relevant authorities. โThey wonโt escape this; I promise,โ he added, showing his determination to seek justice.
Fans also noticed that Van Nistelrooy refused to shake hands with Sporting CP manager Ruben Amorim after the final whistle. Speculation is growing that his frustration over the controversial refereeing decisions played a role in his reaction.
With emotions running high, the fallout from this match is far from over, and all eyes are now on how the football authorities will respond.
