, saying: "You are old, (with) years in football and post a video that doesn't respect women's football nor the player who, in this case, is my girlfriend. 

"You never learned what respect is! Damn!"

The post which Luiz replied to has since been deleted.

Luiz has started just twice for Steven Gerrard's side this season.

However, following an injury to Boubacar Kamara, he is set to get an extended run in the team which should last until at least the World Cup.

He was the subject of interest from Arsenal on transfer deadline day, but with no time to replace him Villa demanded a fee far beyond what the Gunners were willing to pay.

Luiz is out of contract next summer, and Arsenal may renew their interest in January but may also be joined by the likes of Liverpool.
