Jesse Lingard Responds To Criticism Following Video With Paul Pogba

Who would've thought a dance video with Paul Pogba would attract so much heat? After uploading a video on social media, Jesse Lingard was subject to criticism from Rio Ferdinand.

And the Manchester United player has subtlety responded to the dig by 'liking' a Tweet sent out by world champion boxer Tony Bellew.

The avid Everton fan, who'll be fighting David Haye in a heavyweight grudge match next month, Tweeted:

"People slating Pogba an Lingard are a joke! Is dancing and laughing a crime? Got every right to be dancing and smiling! They've cracked it!"

_{(Here what Rio had to say about their new celebration:)}

During last nights Premier League game between Liverpool and Chelsea, Ferdinand said;

"I just see a video of the lads dancing in the changing room and listen, I'm all for having a bit of fun on social media."

"When you're fifth (sixth) in the league and you're not in the Champions League positions, fighting, no (it wouldn't have happened in my day)."

It's just a bit of fun, right?

Or does the former United defender have a point?
