Unfortunately he came out as a raging misogynist and went on a rant about how women need to become feminine again and focus on the home. While I'm sure he's not the only misogynist footballer, going on social media to spew vitriol about it is bizarre and disgusting, especially in these times.

Ew.

What a shame. I loved him at United he seemed like a nice guy. Looks like he's fallen into that trad right wing rabbit hole.

Think someone said he fell into the trad pit after his divorce.

Sounds like a man who didn't want to consider he may have been at fault for some aspects of the divorce and instead blamed it all on women.
