Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand was disappointed with the referee during their game against Chelsea.

The Red Devils were denied a seemingly clear penalty after a Callum Hudson-Odoi hand ball in the penalty area in the first half.

However, the referee chose not to award a spot kick, even after consulting video replays.

"We should have had a penalty," the former Manchester United defender said on hisRio Ferdinand Presents FIVE podcast.

"I don't know what's going on with these rules, these referees and stuff like that.

"I don't know how you go to the screen and look at the screen and don't give the penalty. It doesn't make sense.

"I saw it the first time in real time and shouted 'penalty!' in my front room. How he's not seeing it and giving it and the people at Stockley Park aren't going 'give that penalty now'.

"There's nothing they can tell me that will change my mind that it should be a penalty. It's a disgrace."
