Van Nistelrooy's controversial move

The only goal from Trent Alexander-Arnold's shot helped Liverpool earn 3 valuable points, and at the same time officially caused Leicester to be relegated 5 rounds early. After 33 matches, "The Foxes" only earned 18 points.

After the match ended, Van Nistelrooy was caught on camera hugging and kissing Liverpool players right after his team was relegated. This intimate act caused the former Leicester player to be criticized on social media.

The action caused Van Nistelrooy to be criticized.

One fan commented: "If I was a Leicester fan I would feel terrible. They've just been relegated and Van Nistelrooy is still walking around the pitch with a big smile on his face." Another commented: "Van Nistelrooy laughing with Liverpool players right after they've been relegated. Unbelievable."

When asked about the defeat to Liverpool, Van Nistelrooy admitted: "This is a very disappointing result. It didn't happen overnight, it was the result of many weeks of ineffective training and playing. Even though we didn't give up and fought every week, that chance (of staying in the league) is gone."

The Sun noted that Leicester under Van Nistelrooy had a losing rate of up to 80%. Before the former Dutch player took over the club, the "Foxes" ranked 16th in the Premier League under coach Steve Cooper.

Since the beginning of 2025, Leicester have also not scored a goal at home in the Premier League.

The Daily Mail reports that Leicester are targeting Sheffield Wednesday manager Danny Rohl as a potential replacement for Van Nistelrooy. Rohl has a close relationship with Leicester's Director of Recruitment Martyn Glover, having worked together at Southampton.

Bruno Fernandes shined on the day MU won big against Leicester. In the early morning of March 17, Bruno scored 1 goal and 2 assists to help MU defeat host Leicester 3-0 in round 29 of the Premier League.
