The Amsterdam outfit say the Uruguay international will not be making an appearance at Old Trafford in support of his former club
Feb 22, 2012
Liverpool's Luis Suarez will not travel to Old Trafford to support former club Ajax in its last-32Europa League tie against Manchester United.
Reports had surfaced this week that Suarez, who recieved an eight-game ban from the FA for racially abusing Patrice Evra earlier in the season, could be in attendance to support former club Ajax.
However, Ajax's manager of communications, Miel Brinkhuis, has claimed the Dutch outfit has not invited Suarez, but says it is possible an Ajax squad member did.
"Luis was not invited by us, the club Ajax, unlike John Heitiga. The defender will sit in the VIP deck along with our other guests," Brinkhuis told Sp!ts.
"It could have been possible that a player like Jan Vertonghen invited Suarez to the match. I understood from other people that Suarez will not be attending at the match at Old Trafford.
"I have asked someone about his status and he replied: 'No it's not my plan to visit the game.'"
Suarez caused controversy recently when he failed to shake Patrice Evra's hand when the two met during Liverpool's 2-1 defeat at Old Trafford just weeks ago.
