Former Man United defender Rio Ferdinand has slammed the decision to rule out a Matthijs de Ligt strike against Rangers in their crucial Europa League clash. The Dutch defender appeared to have given the hosts a first half lead from a corner in the 24th minute at Old Trafford.
His headed effort from a corner was ruled out by the officials for a foul by fellow centre back Leny Yoro. Yoro was adjudged to have pushed Robin Propper from the set piece, with the VAR officials sticking with the referee's on field decision. 'I'm not having that,' Ferdinand said on TNT Sports.
'That is so soft, he has just touched him, he has leaned on him slightly. 'He has gone down like a pack of cards'. Fellow co-commentator Ally McCoist backed Ferdinand's view of the controversial incident. 'I don't disagree with you,' McCoist said. 'But I think once the referee gives it, there is enough for him not to change his mind.'.
