Hair pulling is only allowed in sex masochism, says angry Louis van Gaal after Fellaini elbow incident
Eccentric manager at his bizarre best again after his team’s 1-1 Premier league draw with Leicester City as he complains that a hair-pulling incident during the match was only acceptable in ‘sex masochism’
Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal was at his bizarre best again after his team’s 1-1 Premier league draw with Leicester City as he complained that a hair-pulling incident during the match was only acceptable in “sex masochism”.
Every human being who is grabbed by the hair, only with sex masochism, then it is allowed but not in other situations. They did it. They did it several times I think
The United manager’s future at Old Trafford may be the subject of intense speculation but his position as the Premier League’s entertainer par excellence was enhanced with a comical post-match interview in which he also tugged a reporter’s hair.
The highlight of the Dutchman’s eccentricity this season had been the way he threw himself theatrically to the turf, clipboard in hand, to insinuate a supposed dive by Alexis Sanchez in United’s match against Arsenal in February.
Yet it may not have topped Van Gaal’s straight-faced but faintly surreal response to an incident in which United’s Marouane Fellaini appeared to elbow Leicester’s Robert Huth after having his luxuriant head of hair pulled by the German defender.

Asked about the episode which could have resulted in a penalty for United, Van Gaal told his questioner from Sky Sports: “When you see what Huth is doing to Fellaini, that’s a penalty. Shall I grab you by your hair?”
