In response to Rio Ferdinand, Douglas Luiz explains his goal celebration against Manchester United.

Douglas Luiz gave an explanation for his chest swaying celebration after scoring a goal for Aston Villa against Manchester United.

Douglas Luiz, an Aston Villa midfielder, explained his goal celebration after Sunday’s 2-1 loss to

Manchester United at Villa Park by referring to it as “carnival time in Brazil.”

Erik ten Hag’s team’s thrilling 86th-minute winner through the head of substitute

Scott McTominay condemned Villa to their third straight home loss in all competitions.

Luiz had tied the score less than 20 minutes earlier, and it appeared as though United would have to settle for a point.

When United failed to clear a corner convincingly, the midfielder turned the ball home from close range.

Rasmus Hojlund gained space in the area to score his 11th goal of the year, putting Villa behind since the 17th minute.

With eight goals this season in all competitions,

Luiz celebrated by swaying his chest in front of the Holte End after deflecting

a drive from Leon Bailey past United goalkeeper Andre Onana. Rio Ferdinand,

a former United defender,

asked the former Manchester City player about his peculiar and distinctive celebration on social media.

Ferdinand posted a picture of Luiz enjoying his party on the social networking app X,

which was formerly known as Twitter. He captioned the photo with the words “U ok @dgoficial,”

along with three happy faces and a sobbing emoji.

After just over 12 hours, Luiz wrote back to Ferdinand, saying,

“I’m good, thanks.” “It’s just carnival season in Brazil,” the Brazilian flag emoji was displayed alongside.

Luiz’s celebratory samba dance was premature as United restored their advantage 19 minutes later with McTominay’s ninth goal of the season,

even if Villa were fully deserving of their equalizer at the time.

Reaching the top of the pitch, he connected with Diogo Dalot’s perfect center from the right to complete an incredible comeback.
