Phil Neville heaped praise on his fellow former Manchester United teammate Wayne Rooney after an accusation of racism overshadowed an MLS game between their two sides.
Neville's Inter Miami sealed a 3-2 win over Rooney's DC United but the big talking point was the incident involving players from both sides. It is alleged that DC player Taxi Fountas directed a racial slur towards Inter defender Damion Lowe. Fountas was substituted by Rooney almost immediately.
That decision led to Neville praising Rooney's quick-thinking. "I must commend the referee for a really, really difficult situation. He followed the protocols set out by the MLS," Neville said.
