Thierry Henry slated for ‘awkward’ behaviour after appearing ‘off’ as Kate Abdo saves bizarre Christan Pulisic interview

THIERRY HENRY was slammed by fans for his awkward behaviour in an interview with Christian Pulisic.

The AC Milan star spoke to CBS Sports after his side were defeated 3-1 by Liverpool in their Champions League opener.

But Henry barely questioned Pulisic with his colleagues Jamie Carragher and Micah Richards and host Kate Abdo doing most of the talking.

And after Pulisic answered a question about the US national team and what they can achieve under new boss Mauricio Pochettino, Henry clammed up and turned things very awkward.

When Pulisic stopped speaking Richards asked: “Thierry?”

But the Arsenal legend quickly snapped back “no” as he refused to ask a question before looking around awkwardly.

Kate then jumped in to save the situation by asking Pulisic what he planned to do with the rest of his evening.

Fans quickly piled on Henry and called out his awkwardness, as the Frenchman appeared out of character.

One fan said: “Just flat weird behavior from Thierry Henry during this Pulisic interview. Strange and awkward.”

Another added: “Henry was so weird the whole night.”

A third wrote: “Bro what is up with Thierry Henry in this Pulisic segment? Such a weirdo.”

And another commented: “There is a real beef there. Thierry Henry has been trying to get the USA job for years but he isn’t qualified.”

Henry’s awkwardness with Pulisic may be born out of the fact he was overlooked for the role of USMNT manager.

Pulisic is one of the team’s stars and Henry was considered for the job, according to Fabrizio Romano, but missed out to Pochettino.
