Manchester United fans launch scathing attack on Marcos Rojo after challenge on Kylian Mbappe gives France penalty in World cup game
France were awarded the spot-kick which Antoine Griezmann scored to give Les Bleus the lead
It's been an electric start to the first knockout game at the 2018 World Cup as two of the tournament's heavyweights France and Argentina lock horns for a place in the quarter-finals.
Les Bleus started the game more positively and the referee had a huge decision to make after Marcos Rojo felled Kylian Mbappe in the box after a brilliant lung-busting run from the gifted teenager.
France were awarded the penalty and Antoine Griezmann slotted the ball home to give them a 13th-minute lead.
Although it was a purposeful run from Mbappe, the ball looked to be heading out of play before he was fouled by the Manchester United defender, suggesting the tackle may not have been entirely necessary.
And many across Twitter, including some United supporters, launched scathing attacks on the defender for his cynical challenge on Mbappe.
Below you can see some of the best tweets criticising Rojo.
