Manchester United assistant Rui Faria sarcastically hails Mark Clattenburg's display against Burnley: 'I just want to say fantastic work from the referee'

Manchester United assistant manager Rui Faria hailed the 'fantastic' work of referee Mark Clattenburg after he sent off Ander Herrera in the game against Burnley.

Herrera was dismissed for picking up a second yellow card for a foul on Dean Marney. The Spain international seemed to slip before taking out the 32-year-old midfielder with a sliding challenge.

Clattenburg chose to hand him another booking, and Jose Mourinho's assistant was clearly not happy with the decision.
