Liverpool’s Luis Suarez has apologized for the infamous handshaking incident which happened at Old Trafford last weekend.
Controversial boy Luis Suarez once again robbed the headlines for bad reasons last weekend when he refused to shake Patrice Evra’s hand during the Manchester United v Liverpool match which ended 2-1 in favour of the hosts. Wayne Rooney clinched a vital brace as Suarez’s late goal through Rio Ferdinand’s blunder in defence proved to be nothing more than a consolation.
Suarez snubbed Evra but shook the hand of goalkeeper David de Gea. Frenchman Evra then grabbed Suarez by the arm in attempt to pull him back and force a handshake. However, the Liverpool striker didn’t bother as he walked off.
Video clips of Suarez’s snub instantly hit the net. In a post-match interaction with reporters, Kenny Dalglish claimed to have not seen the hand-shaking incident but Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson publicly slammed the Uruguayan as a disgrace. Luis Suarez finally issued an apology on Monday via Liverpool’s official website. He stated:
“I have spoken with the Manager since the game at Old Trafford and I realise I got things wrong. I've not only let him down, but also the Club and what it stands for and I'm sorry. I made a mistake and I regret what happened.
“I should have shaken Patrice Evra's hand before the game and I want to apologise for my actions. I would like to put this whole issue behind me and concentrate on playing football.”
While Luis Suarez is hoping to focus on football only, rumours about a Liverpool exit are already running in the media…
