Ex-Manchester United player Phil Bardsley has been criticized for pretending to wash his son's mouth with shampoo because he was swearing.

The 38-year-old, who is currently assistant manager at Macclesfield, was filmed by his The Real Housewives of Cheshire star wife Tanya as he playfully pinned his youngest son Ralphi to the bathroom floor.

Tanya, 42, asks the boy 'are you getting soap in your mouth', to which Phil replies: 'Yes. Pantenne, that's enough.'

The retired defender then jokingly tries to pull the towel away and stuff soap in his mouth, as Tanya adds: 'You won't swear again will you.'

After showing the clip to her 573,000 followers on Instagram, the couple received criticism from people, with one person claiming it was 'disturbing'.

A comment below the post read: 'Am I the only one who finds a grown man holding a child down on a hard floor and pouring chemicals into his mouth disturbing and insulting no matter how much he swears!!!'

Another said: 'It's not funny to post a video making jokes about child abuse because people who actually do that are abusive.'

However, many parents found no problem with the video, with one saying: 'It's family talk, you can see it's not malicious… Old ways haven't hurt us.'

Another also joked: 'The amount of soap I had as a child and am still alive today.'

A third added: 'You can clearly see the child is not in distress or injured. Jesus, the child, is giggling…let's face it, we all argue with our children.'

Tanya originally posted the video with the following caption: “We're going back to the old fashioned treatment because nothing else has worked for our little potty mouthed Ralphi doodle.

The ex-Man United player made eight appearances for the Red Devils between 2003 and 2008

“He told his brother to fuck off. No children were harmed in the making of this video. For the wrapped Karen's in the comments, no shampoo was put in his mouth and Ralphi just laughed.

'FFS. Honestly, the world is so serious these days and thrives on being insulted and judged.”

Bardsley made eight appearances for United and also played for Sunderland, Burnley and Stoke.
