Liverpool Fans Divided Over Darwin Nunez’s Post-Match Gesture After Manchester United Draw

Liverpool fans have expressed mixed reactions to Darwin Nunez’s behavior following the dramatic 2-2 draw with Manchester United at Anfield.

The match, which saw Liverpool battle back from Lisandro Martinez’s opener with goals from Cody Gakpo and Mohamed Salah, ended in disappointment as United’s Amad Diallo netted a late equalizer. The dropped points left many fans frustrated.

Nunez, introduced as a substitute in the 60th minute, faced criticism after the game for swapping shirts with his Uruguay teammate Manuel Ugarte and making heart gestures toward the crowd as he left the pitch.

Some fans took to social media to express their disapproval. One posted a clip on X, commenting: “Nunez at full time, read the room ffs.” Another added: “Played poorly, got suspended for no reason, and then does heart signs holding a United shirt. I can’t support him anymore.”

However, others defended Nunez, explaining that the striker frequently uses heart signs as a gesture of love for his family. Some also pointed out that other players and even manager Jürgen Klopp displayed similar gestures after the match.

“There’s no need to clip the video like this,” one fan argued. “Many players were doing the same thing for their families.” Another wrote: “He does the heart sign for his family after every game. There’s nothing wrong with it.”

Despite the controversy, Nunez will miss Liverpool’s upcoming top-of-the-table clash against Nottingham Forest due to a one-game suspension, having received his fifth yellow card of the season for a reckless challenge on Matthijs de Ligt.
