Liverpool fans have reacted to footage of Manchester United fans taunting Federico Chiesa, saying it shows that they are ‘rattled’.
Chiesa joined Liverpool from Serie A giants Juventus on a four-year deal for a fee of £10m, with the potential of a further £2.5m in add-ons.
The Italian’s time with his new club got off to a perfect start on Sunday, as he travelled with the team to watch Liverpool dominate long-term rivals United 3-0 at Old Trafford.
And now, footage of the forward arriving at the match has been posted online, and Liverpool fans are convinced that it shows United supporters are scared of their new player.
The footage shows that as he arrives at Old Trafford, Chiesa, escorted by security, walks past dozens of United fans who are also walking into the stadium.
And as soon as they notice that he is there, the fans immediately start chanting, ‘you scouse b******’ and other abusive remarks towards him.
Responding to the clip on X, one Liverpool fan wrote: “He’s already rattled them and he’s not played a single minute😭🤣”
Another added: “Chiesa who was born in the famous scouse province of Genoa”
While another is convinced that the incident will inspire the 26-year-old to perform well when the two clubs meet again at Anfield in January, writing: “He won’t forget this, he will repay you for this at Anfield 😎🐐”
Another agreed, adding: “Oh well at least he’ll have the opportunity to ruin their season further when they come to Anfield.”
