DARREN FERGUSON has hit out after an Everton star had a pop at him for not playing Tyler Young.
The son of Sir Alex Ferguson watched his side get knocked out of the FA Cup on Thursday evening at Goodison Park.

Beto gave the Toffees the lead in the first half before Iliman Ndiaye killed off the tie in the dying moments from the spot.
However, many fans were hoping to see Young, 18, make an appearance for the Posh against his dad and Everton defender Ashley Young, 39.
Tyler did not make it on the pitch which meant history could not be made.
A father and son have never played against each other in the FA Cup’s entire 154 history.
After the game, Ferguson insisted that putting Tyler on would not have been the right decision for his side.
He also revealed at an Everton star “had a pop” at him for leaving the teenager on the bench.
He said: “It was very difficult to leave Tyler on the bench but I’ve got to do what I think is best for the team.
“As much as I wanted Tyler to get on, if the game had been 2-0 at that point I would’ve put him on, but at 1-0, I had to get a forward on.

“I’ve got to try and get something out of the game and do what is best for my team.
“One of their players had a pop at me which was bang out of order.

“We are not a charity case.”
The omission should not have come as a surprise as Tyler has only made one professional appearance before the game.
He was a substitute in the EFL Trophy clash against Stevenage back in October.
Meanwhile, Sean Dyche was not in the dugout for the Toffees following his sacking earlier in the day.
Instead, Seamus Coleman and club legend Leighton Baines took charge of the side.
The pair had to deal with a nasty injury to Armando Broja during the game.
The striker was stretchered off after landing awkwardly and appearing to be in immediate discomfort.
The club’s hunt for Dyche’s replacement has already seen the names of former manager David Moyes and ex-Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho be linked.
