Rio Ferdinand did not hold back while assessing Gabriel Magalhaes' error that gifted West Ham a penalty in the 2-2 draw.
The Man United legend said on his Vibe with FIVE podcast: "Rash… and I’ve said this about Gabriel a few times. He’s rash, he makes mad, wild decisions.
"As a defender you’ve got to be calm. There’s no need for him to do what he did. It was a rush of blood, he needs to eradicate that, get that out of his game quick."
Rio is, of course, referring to Gabriel's clumsy tackle on Lucas Paqueta. The referee awarded a penalty to the Hammers, which Said Benrahma hit home comfortably.
"As a manager you don’t want to see that [Gabriel's error]. Because those types of things ruin the head too many times, it starts becoming part of their make-up, and you’re going, ‘hold on, can I rely on this guy?'
"I think he’s had a fabulous season, Gabriel. But those types of decisions can be very costly, he’s in the run-in now.
"That will hurt, the way they dropped points."
