Harry Maguire attempted to block the ball in his own box but a big deflection landed the ball behind De Gea leading into an own goal. Romero was recorded laughing in front of Maguire after the own goal brought the scoreboard level at 2-2. However, Cristiano Ronaldo scored his third to secure a 3-2 win over Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford on Sunday.
In a conversation with TalkSPORT, Arsenal legend Parlour said that it was a big game for both sides but disrespecting players should not happen:
โI think thatโs bang out of order. I donโt think Iโd do that. I know itโs a big game for both sides but come on. I donโt know the situation but you donโt need to do that. Just take the goal and run away and celebrate with your teammates.'
Further into the conversation, Parlour sided with Manchester United legend Roy Keane and expressed his reservations against such disrespectful gestures. He also expressed that he would wait for such players to meet in the next game, going for a tackle and accepting a yellow card. He added:
โIโm with Roy Keane. Iโll be waiting for him in the next game, do him โ boff!. You can take him out though! Go for a tackle and get a yellow card for it. Donโt do it 100 per cent, just take him out.'
