Former Netherlands internationals Ronald de Boer and Wesley Sneijder have hit out at former Liverpool star Jordan Henderson.

They expressed their displeasure over the player’s refusal to face the media amid reports that he wants to leave Ajax.

They believe the England international not wearing the armband and opting not to face the media creates more unrest in the club.

Snider slammed the Englishman while addressing the press after Ajax’s 2-1 win over Galatasaray in the UEFA Europa League, claiming he was ‘not man enough’ to face the media.

“Don’t be so difficult, man. You play the match, you have the armband on and after the match, you say: ‘Yeah, guys, I don’t know yet. Something is going on. We’ll see.’ Be a man and stand your ground. Right now you get speculation and you create a lot of unrest.”

De Bore added, “This is complete nonsense. Henderson wanted to focus on the match, but he did not have to appear in front of the camera before the match.

“I understand that Pasveer has to do this, but it is simply nonsense. Henderson simply has other things on his mind and apparently does not want to respond to it.”

According to recent reports, Henderson is pushing to leave the Dutch giants this month and has also threatened to go on strike.
