Liverpool hero: This is how it felt when Man United fans yelled Scouse ‘b******’ at me
DIRK KUYT copped a huge amount of flak when he came up against Manchester United last month in the Europa League.
Dirk Kuyt heard the chant during the game against Manchester United at Old Trafford
The Dutchman, who now plays for Feyenoord, was on the wrong end of a 4-0 scoreline against Manchester United.
Feyenoord won the corresponding fixture at their home ground 1-0 back in September.
The 36-year-old previously played for Liverpool and became a fans’ favourite during his six-year spell at Anfield.

Actually it made me proud because I felt proud to be named a Scouser
And it seems United fans have never forgotten.
So much so Kuyt has revealed the rude chant they directed at him at Old Trafford.
“Last week we played against Manchester United,” Kuyt said.

“I think you know we beat them in Rotterdam 1-0, but unfortunately we lost the game 4-0 at Old Trafford.
“One thing happened during the game. 60,000 supporters shouted against me 'You Scouse b*****d.
“Normally when your rivals shout at you it's not the best thing that can happen to you but actually it made me proud because I felt proud to be named a Scouser – an adopted Scouser – because for me Scousers are good people; hard-working people, committed people and people who never give up.”
