MANCHESTER UNITED manager Erik ten Hag was booked for losing his temper during his side’s 2-2 draw with Barcelona.
The Dutch boss was fuming with referee Maurizio Mariani after he gave the hosts a free kick for a similar challenge that went unpunished on United star Marcus Rashford.
Ten Hag let loose at the assistant and the referee after seeing Casemiro’s challenge get punished.
That was what sparked Mariani to come over and show him a yellow card for his protests during the Europa League tie.
The earlier challenge on Rashford was on the edge of the Barcelona box and could have been a good position for Manchester United to score from.
And fans have been backing up Ten Hag on social media as well as fuming at Mariani’s judgement.
