Troy Deeney has called out a Manchester United star for having a 'touch of an elephant' in a stinging assessment of his performance against Manchester City.
Man United and Man City played out a drab goalless draw at Old Trafford on Sunday.
The Premier League fixture was marred by a vile chant aimed at Phil Foden, who took to social media following yesterday's result.

After the game, Deeney delivered an interesting take on the incident that was condemned by Pep Guardiola.
On Match of the Day 2, the former Premier League striker shared his thoughts on Ruben Amorim's system and singled of Alejandro Garnacho's performance for praise.
But he also slammed Patrick Dorgu and ruthlessly claimed his touch is of an 'elephant'.
"You are starting to see Amorim’s work pay off," he said.

"What Amorim wants from his 10s is them running behind the full-backs and the centre-backs."

Referencing Garnacho's chance in the opening minutes, Deeney added: "He could have gone on his left foot for the first effort and got his shot off.
"He is switching play which is what Amorim wants.

"His [Garnacho] willingness to run in behind is what United need going forward and this is what Amorim is talking about."
On Dorgu, Deeney said: "This touch from Dorgu is the touch of a baby elephant. It is so terrible. If you want to score goals, you need to do better.
"But he is starting to build a nice connection down the left between Garnacho and Dorgu."

Dorgu joined Man United from Lecce for an initial £25.2 million during the January transfer window.
He has played eight games across all competitions since signing for the club.
Dorgu has shown some promise in his outings for Man United, but has also struggled for consistency, with Martin O'Neill hitting out at the Dane following his showing against Nottingham Forest.
