'Not having that': Man Utd hero fumes over disallowed goal vs Rangers

Manchester United hero Rio Ferdinand wasn't happy after his old team's opener was disallowed against Rangers.

The sides face off in the UEFA Europa League this evening in a hotly contested Battle of Britain.

The Old Trafford club looked to have opened the scoring early doors after Matthijs de Ligt nodded home from a corner.

Referee Erik Lambrechts, though, soon disallowed the goal for a foul by United centre-back Leny Yoro on Rangers defender Robin Propper.

Yoro looked to have shoved Propper's back, although Ferdinand felt the goal should have stood: "I’m not having that," he said live on TNT Sports.

"It’s so soft. He’s just touched him, he’s leaned on him slightly, he’s gone down like a pack of cards."

The game remains poised at 0-0 as half-time approaches.

The teams are finely balanced in the Europa League table as matchday seven continues.

Rangers finish their league phase campaign with a home tie against Belgian outfit Union St. Gilloise at Ibrox next Thursday evening.

Before that, though, Philippe Clement's men travel to face Dundee United in the Scottish Premiership this weekend.
