Rio Ferdinand will not face disciplinary action from Uefa for his conduct following Manchester United’s Champions League loss to Real Madrid.
Ferdinand sarcastically applauded in the face of Turkish referee Cuneyt Cakir after full-time following the decision to send off Nani.
United lost the tie 3-2 on aggregate.
But European football’s governing body will take action over Nani’s red card and the “non-fulfilment of post-match media obligations” at Old Trafford.
United were leading 1-0 on the night – and 2-1 on aggregate – when referee Cakir dismissed Nani for a high challenge on Alvaro Arbeloa in the 56th minute.
Ferdinand, 34, was visibly upset at the full-time whistle as he and his United team-mates surrounded the match officials.
