  • Mykhailo Mudryk's recent social media activity has put him at loggerheads with fans online
  • Mudryk shared a video of a seemingly elderly man working out while a little bit exposed

Mykhailo Mudryk has found himself on the receiving end of wrath from fans, after he posted a controversial video on social media.

The Chelsea winger took to his Instagram stories and uploaded a video of an old man who was working out in the gym.

What did Mudryk do?

The unidentified man in the video had his shorts slightly below his waist, exposing the line on his sitting apparatus. Mudryk accompanied the video with a question mark as the caption.

It is not clear if the Ukrainian took the video or if he only reshared a post he saw somewhere else. Nonetheless, his post has not gone down well with fans online, with Joey Swoll leading the onslaught.

From his Twitter bio, Swoll is a fitness enthusiast.

The social media user was visibly incensed with Mudryk sharing the video.

"You see a man like this in the gym who is a little bit exposed. You then decide to take a video of him and post it on social media to make fun of him, all for attention. Really? Yet you are a professional soccer player. Is this how you want to represent yourself and your team?
"Either you help or mind your own business!"

Others react to Mudryk's video

Swoll's reaction garnered over 600 comments at the time of writing, with many joining him in condemning the former Shakhtar Donetsk star.

@charles added:

"Why did Mudryk even do that? You can't even help your team get out of the 12th place, but you're here shaming someone else trying to work out?"

@CFCDrey said;

"Love Mudryk, but he deserves this cooking; that video was so unnecessary"

It has been a difficult few months in England for the 22-year-old, who joined the Blues in a huge money deal after snubbing Arsenal. He is yet to show his full potential, but has shown a few glimpses of what he might offer long term.

Mudryk targeted by lasers

Previously, Sports Brief reported that Arsenal released a statement following the incident in which lasers were aimed at Chelsea's Mudryk at the Emirates Stadium on May 2.

The Blues came in at the last minute during the January transfer window and hijacked the player from the grasp of their English rivals, who had courted him for over four months.

The Ukrainian started off the bench in his first visit to the home of the Gunners since the transfer saga over his signature, which eventually went the way of the Londoners.
