Ashley Young: Rio Ferdinand could have lost an eye
Manchester United winger Ashley Young has expressed concern over the security of players after team-mate Rio Ferdinand was struck by an object during the Manchester derby.
– Ashley Young on MUTVIt could have taken Rio's eye out and you've seen the cut on his head.
When 'Wazza' [Rooney] was taking a corner there were so many objects being thrown on to the pitch as well and, on another day, if the pitch had not been so wet, the fan who came on to the pitch wouldn't have slipped over and could have attacked Rio.
It's not nice to see that and hopefully it'll be dealt with.
