Arsenal legend Ian Wright was front and centre of an altercation with former Manchester United midfielder Josh Harrop following a feisty Baller League clash.
The Baller League is a new six-vs-six tournament organised by successful YouTuber KSI, with several high-profile managers drafting their teams, such as Luis Figo, John Terry and Ian Wright.
There is only one former Manchester United player involved with that being academy graduate Josh Harrop, who was drafted into FC RTW.
United fans will remember Harrop after his dream debut for the first-team under Jose Mourinho, even though his career took off at Preston North End instead of Old Trafford.
Mourinho had been preparing his United side for the 2017 Europa League final when he rotated his squad in a match against Crystal Palace, leading up to the Stockholm final.
Harrop started up front and scored as United beat Palace 2-0, with a young Scott McTominay also named in the starting line-up on the final day of the domestic season.
Ian Wright gets into heated row with Josh Harrop
Tensions ran high in the recent round of Baller League fixtures as Ian Wright and Josh Harrop grabbed the headlines.
The former Arsenal forward is managing Wembley Rangers alongside Lionesses star Chloe Kelly.
Wembley Rangers were on the receiving end of a 4-3 defeat against FC RTW before some members of the teams involved let their emotions get the better of them.
Harrop scored a brace for FC RTW before a spat emerged following the final whistle. After Wright approached him, the former United youth player said: “I’m a grown man, don’t speak to me like that,” as his teammates tried to calm him down.
Former Watford striker Troy Deeney, who was sent off for Wright’s side in the game, stepped in to usher the midfielder away.
Troy Deeney lifts lid on row between Harrop and Wright
While Deeney is unable to take the morale high crowd after being dismissed in the game for foul play, the former Premier League striker has shared his version of events from the row between Harrop and Wright.
Deeney accuses Harrop, 29, of showing a lack of respect and stressed that there was a lot of passion expressed on the night.
Speaking to talkSPORT, Deeney said: “I think it was a little bit of passion going high.
“Listen, the weird thing you have is, in this day and age, there’s no respect. So my frustration was solely that you’re speaking to Ian Wright, man.
“Have some respect. That’s it. And again, whether it’s Ian Wright, whether it’s an old lady in the street, whether it’s an older person that’s driving a taxi, have a little bit of respect to it. That’s all.
“And obviously the other lad, I don’t know him. Nice footballer, but obviously he’s a bit chirpy at it. I can’t say anything about that. At his age, I was chirpy.
“So yeah, he’s obviously decided to say a few things to Wright. From my point of view, I don’t know what was said.
“I’d just seen Wrighty look like he was going to lose it. And I’m obviously not going to let that happen. So I just stepped to the middle.”
