DOUGLAS LUIZ bided his time… but found the perfect moment to strike a blow in his row with Rio Ferdinand.
The Aston Villa star and Manchester United legend first clashed earlier this season after Luiz scored against the Red Devils.
Luiz, 26, baffled fans with his “belly-dancing shimmy” after equalising, before United went on to win the match.
Ferdinand took the opportunity to troll the Brazil international on social media afterwards, sharing a picture of the celebration and writing “U ok @dgoficial?” with a bunch of laughing emojis.
Luiz went quiet after that – before spotting the ultimate chance to hit back on Tuesday night.
Villa had cause to celebrate this time after Tottenham’s 2-0 defeat to Manchester City secured them fourth place in the Premier League., and Champions League football next season.

With Erik ten Hag’s United way off the pace in eighth, Luiz tweeted: “I just came here to find out if @rioferdy5 is okay?”.
Villa fans, unsurprisingly, loved it.
One wrote: “Hasn’t tweeted since that game and comes back just for this. my number 6.”
While another said: “Yes Dougie!”

But one United supporter was quick to add: “He’s okay with all his trophies, thank you.”
And Ferdinand himself couldn’t help biting back.
The former England captain, who won six Prem titles and a European Cup with United, simply replied with a picture of himself lifting the Champions League trophy.
Ferdinand, 46, added: “Congrats @dgoficial… Champions League football thoroughly deserved next season.”
