“Have that” – Ferdinand Reacts to Man United’s Penalty Win Over Arsenal in FA Cup
Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand has weighed in on his former team’s dramatic penalty shootout win over Arsenal in the FA Cup third round on Sunday.
The match ended in a 1-1 draw after 90 minutes and extra time, with United clinching the victory 4-2 in penalties.
However, the game was not without its controversies, mainly surrounding a penalty decision in the 69th minute when Harry Maguire was adjudged to have fouled Kai Havertz inside the box.
Referee Andy Madley pointed to the spot in favor of Arsenal.
Despite the lack of VAR to review the incident, Arsenal’s Martin Ødegaard missed his penalty, and goalkeeper Altay Bayindir saved both Ødegaard’s and Havertz’s spot kicks during the shootout.
Ferdinand, clearly impressed by the team’s resilience, shared his thoughts on social media platform X (formerly Twitter).
“Another battling performance… desire, willingness to fight as a team! ManUtd.
Bet the ref’s gutted,” Ferdinand tweeted, hinting at the controversial moments during the match. He followed up with a playful, “Have that!”

Football legend Thierry Henry has reacted to Lionel Messi’s emotional response after Argentina lost the 2026 FIFA World Cup final to Spain.
It can be recalled that Spain defeated Argentina to lift the 2026 World Cup trophy. While Spain celebrated their victory, cameras captured Messi in tears after the final whistle.
Henry said Messi’s reaction showed just how much the game still means to him.
“Look at what it means to him. If you ever had any doubt about whether the guy still has any fire in his belly, look at him. Look at what it means.”
He added “You won already. And look at the guy. Look at the passion, desire and the love that he has for his country and how much he puts into it.”
Football legend Rio Ferdinand has shared his prediction ahead of the FIFA World Cup final between Spain and Argentina.
While many have backed different teams to lift the trophy, Ferdinand said some fans have underestimated Argentina’s quality.
He said “I find it difficult to bet against Argentina. They have demonstrated remarkable character, determination, and resilience. I believe people have been somewhat disrespectful by calling them an average team; they are not.”
He continued “I think it is inappropriate and disrespectful. If you are saying that, you clearly do not watch enough football, as they are an excellent team, and in challenging situations, they become even better and stronger. However, I do believe Spain will win the match.”
