Dirk Kuyt dedicated Feyenoord's 1-0 win over Manchester United in the Europa League to his 'friends in Liverpool '.

Kuyt, who made 285 appearances for Liverpool, scoring 71 goals including a hat-trick against Manchester United, captained the Dutch side to success against Jose Mourinho's side last night.

Tonny Vilhena scored the games only goal in the 79th minute to defeat United, and the Feyenoord fans aimed a cheeky dig at Mourinho's men afterwards with a rendition of You'll Never Walk Alone'.

In the aftermath, a grinning Kuyt told ITV Sport: "My friends in Liverpool are smiling too!"

"This is a night not to forget quickly," he added. "The crowd was great and that resulted in a lovely atmosphere at De Kuip.





"The club, Feyenoord, belongs in Europe. If you do it on an evening against a top team as Manchester United, that gives a wonderful feeling.

"Beforehand I said to the boys, 'If we go all out and they play five per cent less then we can win'.

"We fought in the contest. I must give a huge compliment to the team for the fight that we had up to the last minute. This is a wonderful start to the tournament."

Former Liverpool goalkeeper Brad Jones also played in the match, helping Feyenoord keep a clean sheet against Zlatan Ibrahimovic and co.
