adminMANCHESTER. — Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal tugged a television reporter by the hair in a bizarre attempt to defend Marouane Fellaini’s clash with Robert Huth during Sunday’s 1-1 draw.
Van Gaal was quizzed on the incident which saw United midfielder Fellaini escape without punishment after elbowing Huth in the neck and opted to explain why the Belgian had reacted that way by getting physical with the reporter.
Claiming Fellaini’s hair had been grabbed by Leicester defender Robert Huth in a deliberate piece of provocation, van Gaal reached out to do the same to his Sky Sports interviewer. “It was a very difficult match for the referee – when you see what Huth is doing with Fellaini, is that not a penalty?,” van Gaal said. — AFP.
