Barcelona ace Philippe Coutinho has upset some Liverpool fans with a Father's Day social media post.

The Brazilian left the Anfield club in last season's January transfer window, after he initially failed to push through a move to Barcelona in the summer.

He handed in a transfer request via email, despite Jurgen Klopp's best efforts to convince him to stay at the club, and was eventually successful in forcing a move away.

Despite the Reds moving on from Coutinho, his departure still leaves a bitter taste in the mouth for some fans, who are continuing to follow his progress.

It read: "Integrity, loyalty and respect are the great values and qualities my father taught me. What did yours teach you? This Father's Day, show him how grateful you are for his lessons with #BOSSunited".
