'It's a disgraceful decision': Rio Ferdinand SLAMS referee David Coote for overturning his own 'nailed-on' penalty after a slack Bruno Fernandes challenge on Connor Gallagher in Manchester United's win over West Brom at Old Trafford

Rio Ferdinand has blasted the decision to overturn a penalty awarded to West Bromwich Albion as the Baggies fell to a 1-0 defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford.

Slaven Bilic's side made United work for all three points with a retaken Bruno Fernandes penalty the difference in a game where former United man Sam Johnstone dazzled between the sticks for the visitors.

But the Baggies will leave Old Trafford feeling hard done by having been denied what appeared a clear spot kick after Fernandes brought down Conor Gallagher just after half time.
