Manchester United youngster Brandon Williams has slammed club legend Rio Ferdinand for congratulating Manchester City’s Champions League win.
City completed a historic treble on Saturday night with a 1-0 win over Inter Milan in Istanbul.
Ferdinand has frequently praised City and their manager Pep Guardiola this season and was once again on punditry duty as the Citizens made history.
Only two English sides have ever won a continental treble – Premier League, FA Cup, Champions League – with United the first to do it back in 1998/99.
‘Immortal, statues galore. They have earnt it,’ Ferdinand told BT Sport.
‘This team has played a brand of football that has been admired for a long time all over the world. It is a process that has been a long time building.’
However, his comments didn’t go down well with everyone, not least Williams who took to Instagram to fire a bizarre dig at the legendary defender.

He posted a blurred out image to his story, accompanied with the caption: ‘Nobody likes sloppy seconds,’ adding three red devil emojis – a reference to United’s nickname.
The 22-year-old added: ‘Rio Ferdinand. Bet you don’t congratulate if you was player keep the same morals. Too face are boring.’
Many took issue with the full-back’s comments, prompting the player, who has made just one appearance for United this season, to hit back with: ‘You don’t praise simple as. Fakes for money.
While Williams ponders his next post, City’s fans and players will be celebrating hard into the night, with Kyle Walker in particular looking forward to getting drunk.
‘Fakes for money.’
