In recent years, whenever Liverpool have been squaring up against their arch-rivals Manchester United, there's one certainty you could almost always tick off your bingo card.

The sight of legendary Red Devils gaffer Sir Alex Ferguson witnessing the latest defeat at the hands of a team he battled so fiercely to knock off their perch has become a favourite - and frequent - spectacle for telly broadcasters.

With United's struggles ongoing, more than 12 years after Ferguson's retirement and their most recent Premier League title, Red Devils co-owner and Ineos boss Sir Jim Ratcliffe is also often an easy target for the cameras when enduring his club's latest misfortune on the pitch.

But that's not just limited to Old Trafford, with Ratcliffe and INEOS owning multiple clubs across Europe.

As a result, the 72-year-old found himself cursing one Liverpool star this week despite the fact that the Reds weren't even playing.

Kostas Tsimikas joined AS Roma on loan from the Reds last month and was handed his first start for the club against OGC Nice - one of Ratcliffe and INEOS' other clubs - in the Europa League this week.

The Greek star wasted no time in leaving his mark as he provided an assist against the Ligue 1 side, delivering a brilliant cross from the left flank for Gianluca Mancini to fire home what proved to be the decisive goal.

The centre-half netted Roma's second strike in the space of just three minutes to double their advantage.

Despite Terem Moffi's late penalty consolation, the Serie A side clung on for a 2-1 triumph to get their Europa League campaign off to a winning start.

After Tsimikas' delivery led to Mancini's opener, television cameras quickly cut to a clearly frustrated Ratcliffe watching from the stands as the United co-owner saw his second-biggest investment suffer a setback.
