HARRY MAGUIRE and Cristian Romero were involved in a post-match scrap after Tottenham’s Europa League final triumph over Manchester United.
The Red Devils were beaten 1-0 by Spurs in Bilbao as their dismal season ended in more misery thanks to Brennan Johnson’s 42nd minute.
Meanwhile, Tottenham’s victory means they will be playing Champions League football next season.
But tempers spilled over at the final whistle as the Londoners kicked off raucous celebrations.
As Spurs began their party, defender Romero made his way to several United players to shake their hands.
Maguire did not appear to take any notice as Romero came up to him.
However, as the Argentine moved on to a different player, Maguire began charging towards him angrily.
The United star could be seeing angrily waving his hand at Romero while being held back by teammates.

Maguire was given a booking as he was again held back by team-mates.
Yet he did not go on to have the last laugh as Romero helped Spurs end their 17-year trophy drought.

Spurs clinched it from virtually their first opportunity – on 42 minutes.
Brennan Johnson bundled in Pape Sarr’s inswinging cross, with United left-back Luke Shaw also getting a touch on the way.
The Red Devils dictated possession more and more after the break, with Leny Yoro stretching to test Guglielmo Vicario from a free-kick.
But United’s chances only arrived regularly in the final quarter of a patchy contest.
The Red Devils belatedly piled on the pressure in the seven minutes of stoppage time, but Spurs just held on.
Here’s how SunSport’s Dave Courtnadge rated United on a miserable night individually and collectively for Ruben Amorim’s men…
