The Aston Villa midfielder, who is romantically involved with club teammate Alisha Lehmann, found the back of the net during a Premier League match on February 11th. Luiz equalized the score in that game after Rasmus Hojlund’s initial goal, and then proceeded to perform a celebratory kneel and shimmy in front of United players Andre Onana and Raphael Varane.

Despite Luiz’s gesture, the Red Devils ultimately emerged victorious, with Scott McTominay securing a dramatic 86th-minute winner. Luiz’s actions during the match have remained memorable at Old Trafford, where he has become a source of amusement for some members of Erik ten Hag’s squad.

United won’t face Villa again until the 2024-25 campaign. Currently, their focus is on attempting to catch up with Villa in the race for top-four positions in the Premier League. The Red Devils currently trail by nine points but have a game in hand over their rivals from the West Midlands.
